A power running game

I don't care about their formations and fake handoffs, they still had pulling lineman and lead blockers for their RBs and QB, mostly up the middle. They're similar to UF with tebow.

This is like saying old Nebraska teams weren't power running teams because they didn't line up in the I with 2 backs.

Auburn really didn't to anything complicated. When they saw that LSU wasn't going to adjust they kept it simple and LSU couldn't stop them.

And it's still a spread. Pat White never had a season in which he didn't have more carries than pass completions, and it was a spread.

Who said they weren't a power running game? I simply said they were a spread team, which they are. Some guy said that spread teams have no shot against us and I simply pointed out that AU is a spread offense and ran for 440 against us. A spread doesn't mean you have to play like pussies.

WV ran a completely different offense.

They primarily ran zone blocking running plays and were concerned with getting their playmakers in space isolated on defenders.

Not even close to what auburn does.

And yet it's still a version of the spread.

It technically may be called the spread but it was simple. Auburn didnt't do anything complex or unorthadox.

Well ok, you can call it whatever you want

But it's way, way more similar to Alabama's style than WV or MSU

except for the qb that is 250, 6'6, and runs a 4.4.

I don't see gmac doing that.

but yes, our dline is small. I do like it a little better, but a fat arse for a nose gaurd would be good. Similar to cody at bama last year in the three four.

we need a space eater and we just don't have one. If davenport would get his shite together.

Making some of our fast DE's linebackers might not be a bad idea.

Nick Saban will make downs syndrome miles sorry he attempts to coach. Ala 45 LSU 17. If miles doesnt show up due to GOD performing a make-up miracle and one of the cheerleaders calls the game LSU 35 ALA 24

The game will be fairly close....just look over the last 3-4 years.....Bama will win...I lack confidence that the coaching staff can get organized enough to do what is necessary.....there are coaching blunders every game...do you think it will all of a sudden go away? We have been waiting for signs of extreme organization but it is yet to appear.

First off, I'm really not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic, so I'll take it from there, lol.

No matter how you try to justify it, Auburn runs a spread, there is really no debating that. Second, there yards weren't really mostly up the middle. There running backs killed us off tackle all day long. Newton had a ton of yards up the middle but certainly not the backs.

This one confuses me more than the rest of your post. Isn't that EXACTLY what Nebraska ran for 30 years, line up in the I with 2 backs??? Hell, I'm fairly certain Osborne is known for popularizing the formation and making it what it is today.
