Malzahn's system influenced new SWAC head coach Simmons

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Gus Malzahn keeps it simple.

That's what first-year Prairie View A&M head coach Willie Simmons loves about his uptempo, spread offense at Auburn.

"The way he uses formations, the way he plays fast and the way he keeps the game simple," Simmons said. "I think a lot of the spread guys' philosophy is the simpler, the better."

Like Malzahn did at Auburn in 2010, Simmons was an offensive coordinator for a conference championship team. Last season, Simmons was instrumental in Alcorn State winning the SWAC title.

The Braves led the league in scoring offense (44.0 ppg.), total offense (493.8 yards per game) and rushing offense (286 yards per game).
