AUBURN, Ala. -- Gus Malzahn has helped lead Auburn into two national championship games and also coached them through a pair of mediocre seasons. Now, hes in a much tougher situation.The Tigers are 1-2 and trying to recover from losses to two current top 10 teams that were both in doubt in the fourth quarter and revive a struggling offense more susceptible to bad plays than big ones.Ive been at Auburn for seven years now, experienced some very good times, a few rough times, Malzahn said Tuesday. The last two losses have probably hurt me worse than any of the others. I fully understand our fan base is disappointed, and they should be. The bottom line is weve got to coach our players better, and that starts with me.The fact is, were close. As a matter of fact, were real close to being a good team and were going to get this thing turned around.The Tigers (0-1 Southeastern Conference) have another big challenge to overcome Saturday when No. 18 LSU (2-1, 1-0)visits Jordan-Hare Stadium, where Auburn has already lost to No. 5 Clemson and No. 10 Texas A&M . Louisiana-Monroe closes a five-game opening home stand that so far hasnt turned out the way Auburn had hoped.Malzahn was offensive coordinator during Auburns 2010 national title season and led the Tigers back into the championship game in his debut as head coach three years later.Now, hes trying to keep this season from continuing to go downhill. Auburn has gone into the fourth quarter within reach of both Clemson and Texas A&M but couldnt pull off the comebacks.Malzahn said Auburn is close tto turning the corner, but there are plenty of issues to fix, especially offensively.ddddddddddddis offense ranks last among 128 FBS teams in tackles per loss allowed per game, allowing nine sacks already.Malzahn is sticking with Sean White as his starting quarterback against LSU. Auburn leads the SEC in rushing, largely because of a 462-yard performance against Arkansas State. The teams longest completion is 43 yards with only seven pass plays of 20-plus yards, all courtesy of White.Malzahn said its not just the quarterbacks, blaming offensive line calls from the coaches for some of the issues protecting White. He also said his own offensive play calling hasnt been all that good.Weve got to be better around him, Malzahn said of White. Weve got to put him in better situations from a coaching standpoint to help him.He took the uncharacteristic approach of broaching fan discontent and the teams problems in his opening statement. Malzahn acknowledged the reality that hes drawing heat from Auburn fans for the start. The problems didnt begin this season.Auburn has lost 10 of its last 12 SEC games.I definitely feel their pain first of all, Malzahn said. I know the Auburn family. I know their expectations. I dont read social media. I just know they expect us to play good football. I hurt too. Weve got to do a better job, I got to do a better job.
