FAYETTEVILLE — Auburn's Gus Malzahn is known as a wide-open offensive coach, but his system begins and ends with running the football.
Even without his leading rusher JaTarvious "Boobee" Whitlow on Saturday, the visiting No. 11 Tigers rolled up 298 yards on the ground and only allowed Arkansas to rush for 52 yards in a 51-10 rout of the Razorbacks.
“Stopping the run and running the football, it's how we win at Auburn,” Malzahn said. “Today we were able to do both. When we do that. We're a good football team.”
The Tigers (6-1, 3-1 SEC) had seven different players rush the ball, with Kam Martin (94 yards), Harold Joiner (59 yards) and DJ Williams (49 yards) leading the way.
