We just have to accept fact in recruiting

His Arkansas offense? Hahaha. That was Houston Nutt all the way. Malzahn was a glorified clipboard holder for Nutt with an OC title that was only given to him in order to land Mitch Mustain. He was as much the OC at Arkansas as Billy Gonzalez is at MSU. He has had two high level SEC offenses in 8 years as an OC / HC. Those were 2010 and 2013. He's also had several average to slightly above average offenses and a few terrible ones. I couldn't really care less what he did a CUSA or Sun Belt school or a high school. He is a decent offensive mind, but his window dressing is starting to be figured out by DC's throughout the league. He hasn't proven capable of adapting quite yet. And them whipping our ass with Pettway proved nothing. Everybody whipped our D's ass this year both running and throwing, including Samford.

Nutt ran a pounding running game with McFadden and Felix Jones and benched Mustain for Casey Dick. It was not a Gus Bus offense. It was all Nutt. Gus realized he had been used by Nutt to get Mustain and Williams and they all bolted after 1 year. And Gus was way out of his element this year with 2 pounding RBs - which is why Lashley started calling plays. Then amazingly, their offense comes together. Gus is a 1 trick pony.
