What do you think of when you think Gus Malzahn’s offense?
Ten years ago, it was built around a prolific passing attack. At Springdale High School in 2005, quarterback Mitch Mustain threw for 3,817 yards (an Arkansas Class 5A record) with 47 touchdowns and six interceptions. He was named the Gatorade, USA Today and Parade Magazine National Player of the Year.
Two years later, Malzahn landed at Tulsa as offensive coordinator, and his offense led the nation in total yards. His quarterback that year, Paul Smith, threw for more than 5,000 yards with 47 touchdowns and 19 interceptions.
