So Muschamp is a hybrid 3-4 coach. But given the rise of the spread involving multiple WR sets, CWM is saying we'll be playing nickel 80% of the time. So my question is, will Auburn's nickel formation resemble more of a 3-3-5 or a 4-2-5 with the the Buck basically being an upright rush end?

I've just thought that our 3-4 look would involve a SAM inside the box that has to excel in space and covering backs or TE's. So when the SAM is replaced by the nickel, how do the Buck's alignment and responsibilities change?
