StatTiger 3,188 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Here are a few cut ups from Chad Morris' offense at Arkansas. There are many similar plays when comparing Gus Malzahn and Chad Morris, so I cut up the plays unique to Morris or rarely featured in Malzahn's offense. The most notable difference is the use of the tight end by Chad Morris. With Auburn having plenty of options at the TE position in 2020, I can see them being a major part of the offense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaqB2jtdPLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arkansas version shouldn’t give anybody confidence. The Clemson version on the other hand, should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthebiscuits 6,831 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Not trolling, promise. What do you guys see here besides the orbit motion of the back that looks promising for our offense? I understand the potential to throw to the TE...is that it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for one , hopefully much better QB production based off teachability. A bigger pass skeleton. A little more variety of play calling. The thing is , Auburn has talent to do things on the offensive end. We don’t need an overhaul but we do need someone who can actually utilize these pieces to the best of their ability based on their skill set. Gus has shown his inability to do that. Now with that being said, we need an offensive line or it won’t matter who is coaching. To me it is the Joe Brady effect, if handled correctly.

The utilization of the backs and TE in the passing game alone will open up the offense by making the defense have to defend the entire field. Because of that, the running game will have better leverage and lanes to attack. JMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys see here besides the orbit motion of the back that looks promising for our offense? I understand the potential to throw to the TE...is that it? I'll add to the other answers that an offense running nothing but Gus plays might be a lot harder to defend with somebody other than Gus calling them. In addition to the incredibly simplistic passing schemes, the underutilization of TEs and RBs in the passing game, the hyperspecialization of skill players to the point of defenses frequently being able to guess our plays based on who is lined up where, mediocre offensive line play, and QBs being neutered with limited ability to audible, check down, or otherwise improvise... ...Gus just really loves to call the wrong damn play at the wrong damn time. Just handing his clipboard to a guy who has a better feel for the rhythm of the game, the down and distance, whether or not his RB needs a breather, how the defense is playing him, whether or not his quarterback's throwing arm if functioning properly that night, whether or not he really needs to make that substitution to run that play... I don't know if Morris still has that mojo, or if Gus will let him use it. But I honestly believe that our chances of better offensive production just by handing play calling over to an experienced, dedicated- vs distracted- OC have to be pretty good. TL;DR- Even if we don't get many new pieces, we can do a much better job of using the pieces we've already got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pruitt earned a lot of credibility with UT fans when he single-handedly beat Auburn 2 seasons ago because of this tendency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
