Auburn hired Will Muschamp, recently fired as Florida's head coach,  as its new DC.  That's a hire that is worth a whispered "Wow'.  Muschamp is one of college football's best DCs and Gus Malzahn is one of college football's best offensive  football minds.  Alabama beat Auburn this year, gaining scoring (passing) momentum as the first half progressed and pulling away decisively in the second half.  Part of that was Alabama playing much better defense, but they controlled the ball more and more in the second half.  Malzahn really can think and act decisively.  Nationally ranked #2 at the end of last season, #4 in the SEC West Div. and nationally #20 this year,  he figured he had reason.  Of course, he, like many SEC schools, has the budget to do it.
