Only one season removed from a National Championship Game appearance, the Tigers now find themselves looking for a new quarterback to replace Nick Marshall, a new set of running backs and a new center to replace All-American Reese Dismukes. Receiver Sammie Coates decided to bolt for the NFL. That's a good chunk of offense gone. If any coach was capable of plugging new faces into the system Gus Malzahn is that guy. It's a unique hurry-up system built around H-Backs blocking and quarterbacks making good reads. The formula won't change. The faces will. The defense has eight starters coming back where there is plenty of room for improvement. This group just cannot afford the same dismal lapses where scoring 44 points wasn't enough to get a win. Former Gator coach Will Muschamp takes over as defensive coordinator and may be the Tigers best off-season pick up. For Auburn to prove they are worthy of winning the SEC West as some have surprisingly stated, quarterback Jeremy Johnson has to live up to the hype.
