When Gus Malzahn walked off the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Monday, Auburn's offense hadn't scored a single touchdown all day.
A pointless performance would probably cause the offensive-minded head coach's brain to short-circuit. After all, the Tigers have averaged at least 35 points per game during his two seasons in charge.
But Malzahn was surprisingly pleased with the outcome.
"The bottom line is the defense whipped the offense today," Malzahn said, per Brandon Marcello of AL.com. "From a head coach's standpoint, I kind of like that."
