drewzums343 76 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Under Gus, I was really getting tired of the same ol plays. Running up the middle for no gain on 2nd down, a screen pass on 3rd and 11 that goes nowhere. I remember thinking the main thing we are missing is a true vertical downfield passing game. I think many of the plays ran under gus were designed passing plays, so they pre determined where the ball was going before the play even happened. This approach is necessary when you have a freshman QB but if you have a qb like Bo Nix coming into his third year at Auburn, he should be able to throw to whoever is open on almost every play. Gus didn't really do this much for whatever reason and we couldn't push the ball downfield. I'll be happy if Harsin can reverse this trend.

au701948 1,001 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I am looking forward to something more than back to back bubble screens after 2nd down on each series!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilligas 581 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I read he ran a spread power run game. Ran a lot of trick plays and slow developing plays. Mixed run and pass pretty evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didba 5,256 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 From Boise fans: he implements a run first power run game with west coast concepts for the short passing game and pro style concepts for the deep intermediate passing game. Or vice versa. Can’t remember exactly. Nix will need to get used to being under center a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFriction 1,179 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 It took me 1/2 a night of freaking out and the rest of the night of just accepting that he’s the guy. Offensively at least, there’s a lot to potentially like. He doesn’t really have a “scheme” per se. If you did put a title on what he does, it is best described as “multiple.” He designs his offense around the players he has and calls plays to specifically attack the weaknesses of the teams he coaches against. So, over time, we’ll probably see shotgun, pistol, and even under center formations with a balance of pass and run. Given the personnel we have though, I’d expect us to look very spread like next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what I’ve read that his offense is “multiple” in that it utilizes both west coast and pro style passing concepts.

That '07 offense of Boise was talented, but you know Harsin looks at Auburn's roster and goes, oh my. Well, maybe not the OL but he'll have those guys coached up and motivated to kick ass. I've watched a ton of Boise games over the years due to their Saturday time slots. He will adapt, rejoice, his offense to the personnel at hand. We will score many points next year, I am certain.

AU-Allen 85 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Since the Video was posted above showing the championship game. It should be noted he had 3 of his best players out for that game. I would look at 2018-19 for a better idea of his coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If well timed and executed, I like it. It’s fun to watch and I’m sure the players love the excitement and change of pace. It just can’t be the offensive philosophy.

WinstonMcFlurry 28 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I expect we see something like what Jimbo runs at A&M, maybe not as much pro style but that's the closest I can compare it too. Its wild that we are going from one of the least complex offenses to one of the most complex. I wonder if Bo can handle it? I think we 100% get a transfer QB from somewhere, and I wouldn't be surprised if Bo sits at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
