Gus Malzahn and the No-Huddle

Many said it won't work: Gus Malzahn's Hurry-Up, No Huddle spread offense that tore up the high school level at Shiloh Christian and Springdale. But since Houston Nutt wasn't interested in testing that style in the SEC, Malzahn has taken his toys and moved on to Tulsa. So far, the Golden Hurricane are 3-0 under first year coach Todd Graham, and his offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn.
Tulsa even upset BYU last week in a wild shootout, and it's quite apparent senior QB Paul Smith is thriving in Malzahn's system. Up next, a stiff test friday against 4th ranked Oklahoma.
Good news: it's in Tulsa, and it's OU's first road game.
Bad news: It's 4th ranked Oklahoma.
Either way, Arkansas fans will take notice (and probably break their tv sets) if Tulsa upsets a national power with the Hurry Up, No Huddle!
