Auburn’s offense broke out in a big way Saturday night against the hapless Kent State Golden Flashes. Does 400+ yards on the ground and 50+ points mean everything is good and we can expect offensive fireworks from here on out? Of course not. But not doing so would have spelled disaster.
How Auburn went about doing their damage is worth exploring. The Tigers offensive attack looked very different from the one we saw the last time Auburn was in Texas. It featured a lot more gap concepts and a running threat at QB. I think Malzahn has a better understanding of what Auburn can and can’t do heading into this weekend’s SEC opener.
