Scouting Report, Weather Report, Injury Report.

Head coach Gus Malzahn is in his sixth year (50-25) at the helm. Malzahn came to Auburn after spending one year (2012) at Arkansas State as the head coach. That year the Red Wolves won the Sun Belt Conference with a 7-1 conference and finished 9-3 overall.

Before his time in Jonesboro, Malzahn spent 21 years at five different places with a majority of that time at the high school level.

  • Five years at Hughes High School in Arkansas (one year as DC coach, four years as the head coach)
  • Five years at Springdale Shiloh Christian High School also in Arkansas (all as head coach)
  • Five years at Springdale High School also in Arkansas (all as coach)
  • Spent 2006 at Arkansas under Houston Nutt
  • 2007-2008 at Tulsa as assistant head coach/co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach
  • 2009-2011 at Auburn under Gene Chizik

For your Aggies, A&M is currently ranked No. 26 in offense averaging 463 yards per game. On defense, the Aggies are No. 24 in the nation giving up 331 yards per game. The stat we’ve been watching went back above six after the game in Starkville — the Aggies are giving up 6.10 yards per play.

With Auburn and its offense that ranks No. 82 in the country averaging 390 yards per game, the Aggies will need to live up to its fifth-ranked rushing defense as the Tigers will try to do the exact same thing Mississippi State did last weekend. Get Jarrett Stidham and the passing game going early to set up the run game that Malzahn really likes to feature.

Our scoring streak is finally OVER — the Aggies streak of 34-games scoring at least 14 points ended in Starkville. I’m still stunned they scored only 13 points. The streak was the longest active in the SEC and third longest in the nation behind Oklahoma (48) and West Virginia (39). Look for a new streak to begin this week.
