FAYETTEVILLE — Gus Malzahn’s coaching legend began in Northwest Arkansas 22 years ago when his high school team at Shiloh Christian went all in on a no-huddle approach that produced points in flurries while leaving defenses gasping for air.
It was a style that changed football across the state and eventually landed Malzahn the offensive coordinator job at Arkansas in 2006. It has sustained him throughout a seven-year head coaching career at Auburn, where he has won 33 more games than he has lost.
And it has been especially successful against the Razorbacks.
Auburn defeated Arkansas 51-10 on Saturday - its fourth straight blowout in a series that had games decided by 53, 32 and 31 points the previous three seasons.
