If you think we have Chicken Little Syndrome after a loss, read this. Note how they managed to catch Malzahn in a "deer in the headlight" look. Kinda reminds me of an intimidated Mullen during and after playing Alabama.

No mention on ******* offense not really lighting it up.
Mahlzahn reminds me of these douchebag's that dress nice and drive a Porsche.
They look good but deep down they're just average guys.
Gus has a lot of window dressing with his formations and motions only to just run the ball up the middle.
I always thought it was a Smoke & Mirrors type offense... but when it’s clicking, they can wear down a defense...Quote:

They better enjoy what they can this season because they have a long agonizing one coming next season.
That's true. But I think you and I both agree it's well, overrated. But the analysts are really impressed by all that motion to run a counter play or whatever.Quote:

They sometimes beat teams that have more talent than them at home.
Nothing Auburn does seems out of line with where they recruit.
What am I missing?
I don’t think you’re missing anything... most of those things are true about most programs... they just do it with a gimmicky offense...Quote:

And the MA's the other four games can be accounted to what?Quote:
