Auburn beat Alabama and played LSU closer than anyone. He can't be terrible
he's really not, but it's also a doing more with less sort of thing. He sold himself as an offensive wizard and then.....brought a zone read scheme and a few bad passes. Malzahn has just never had a very consistent passing scheme, I think his thing as a HS coach emphasized running.
Malzahn wouldn't work for us because he would underachieve with talent. Look, I think Kevin Steele is a lying flake, but his defense is tough. Not great at man coverage, but hey, that's also the SEC. Auburn is IMO, faster and more physical than Georgia on defense. Their defensive front seven this year was brutal. Just badass guys that hit hard.
And the nutty part is, they just reload the defensive front seven every year. that's partly why I laughed when Rhule came up with a bs answer about recruiting stars, they aren't the only metric, nor should they be, but size/height/weight speed usually gives you some idea of whether they can compete, and DL's with those characteristics get 4 and 5 stars. So he's full of it on that one.
FWIW, I think Bo Nix is much better version of his Dad and I'm old enough to remember him playing too!
If Bo Nix had been throwing to Mims and Platt this season, we win that Okie game.
