re: Why would any kid who plays defense ever want to play for Gus Malzahn?

Gus wants ALL college games to be 83-77 affairs with 3000 yards of offense determined by MEGA OFFENSIVE STARS defended by forgettable no-name defenders who try to react to the sheer speed of long strings of consecutive offensive plays but don't actually cause much interferance with the either of the offenses romping up and down the field.

That's what college football will look like if checks and balances aren't installed to stop handicapping defenses.
