The offense isn't as sexy as the Nick Marshall/Tre Mason running game, but I see a lot of similarities:

- 1st year head coach
- Highly ranked recruiting classes remaining on the roster
- Team starts slow (FL beat Eastern Michigan by 10, should've lost to UT), rides wave of emotional victories to future success as they gain confidence
- Big time NFL dudes they can rely on (Auburn had Dee Ford, Greg Robinson & Tre Mason, FL has Hargreaves & Bullard)

Everyone doubted Auburn all year, but when a team that hasn't felt good about itself in while finally experiences some success, they can be dangerous. 2012 Ole Miss played above it's head because of this reason, IMO.
