Gus Malzahn is having to endure something he’s never had to deal with in his six years as a collegiate offensive coordinator. Namely, his offense is not performing. A Gus Malzahn offense had never dipped below 400 yards in five straight games in his five years controlling a college offense. Shoot, Tulsa went through the [...]
