You know, Gus has his share of detractors on here, and I've said a few things about him myself. But if Gus had been calling the plays for the years that Matt Jones was the QB for Arkansas I think Jones wins a Heisman and Arkansas wins the SEC.

Matt had speed to burn, he was tough enough to take big hits, and he could throw the ball decently. Malzahn would have put him in position to exploit those skills better then Nutt. Nutt was willing, a few times a game, to run that lethal shotgun option with Jones but he just couldn't get away from his old school the QB hands off the ball and does play action passes approach.

Yeah... Jones could’ve been a white cam newton. Very similar skill set.

Jones was just nasty in open field... he didn’t look fast bc of his long legs, but he’d run past every DB with ease.
