"We've got a good game plan in," AU head coach Tommy Tuberville said. "Made a lot of changes. I think all the guys are excited on both sides of the ball."
After producing just three offensive touchdowns in its first three SEC games, Tuberville said the offense has undergone personnel and scheme changes this week.
"We're moving people around, trying to find out what we can do more consistently than anything else," he said.
"We want to play faster on offense. We've got to get that tempo and speed on offense. Quit worrying about making mistakes and go attack and get it done."
The changes actually started a couple of weeks ago when AU ran some two-back sets and moved the quarterback under center for some snaps against LSU. They added more against Tennessee last weekend including a Wildcat formation with Mario Fannin at quarterback.
"Each week we'll look at depending on what the other team does on defense, whether we think two-backs would be better for us 30-40 percent of the time, or we'll run 90 percent spread," Tuberville said. "It just depends on what they do and personnel.
"I think what we're doing putting a little two-back, one-back, underneath the center, two tight ends, helps the spread. It makes them work on something else and takes the working time away from the meat and potatoes of what we really want to do."
