UNIVERSITY PARK -- When watching the Connecticut offense during its first drive against SMU on Saturday, Mustang fans may notice something feels a little familiar.
Head coach Chad Morris likely felt the same way all week while watching film of coordinator Rhett Lashlee's attack. After all, both Morris and Lashlee are both heavily influenced by Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn.
Morris' most notable connection to Malzahn was the year they spent as co-offensive coordinators at Tulsa. Their relationship dates back to 2003, though, when Morris was a high school coach and Texas and Malzahn one in Arkansas.
