Gus Malzahn met with the media today. Let’s decipher what he said.
Gus starts by talking about the adversity the Tigers overcame against Texas A&M. This is true, they did overcome it. Without the fast start we’ve had in every other conference game this season, Auburn didn’t get to instill that panic in the opponent and cruise to a victory. Instead, it took a game-changing type of play with the punt block and Auburn took control after that.
Next, he says Georgia is very good. Yes. However, Gus, they are not battle-tested. They beat Notre Dame in Week Two, when the Irish were still breaking in new coordinators and a new quarterback.
