What makes your spread offense potent as compared to say, a Texas Tech or Missouri or a team like that?

Gus Malzahn: We’re a run, play-action team. A lot of spread teams are pass first, run second. But we’re a run, play-action team. As a matter of fact, I think we ran the ball one more time than we threw it last year, which a lot of people don’t know. We like to be 50-50 and be able to do both well.

Did you feel last year was the coming out party for the offense you weren’t able to unveil at Arkansas?

Gus Malzahn: What we did last year, that’s what I’ve been doing in high school and all that. It was a lot of fun for me personally. It was what I was used to doing, put it that way.
