I must give a shoutout to Jalen Hurts for what he did after his touchdown sat night. Instead of celebrating with his team he ran over to the MSU ROTC cadets and saluted them. As a former officer in the US Army I thought that was one of the most classiest things I have seen this year.
Noticed it too. Classy move. Glad you brought that up.
Jalen is a really good player and cool as a cucumber. He probably punted on having an NFL career by going to Bama instead of MSU but I really like him as a person and college football player. He’s a winner.
Hurts is calm and heady....and always fast enough to get the edge. Wouldn’t peg him just yet in his second year in the system
I know one thing without Jalen Hurts bama goes home with a L Saturday night.
I didn?t see that. That?s awesome. I?d much rather read reports of this instead of college athletes being arrested in a foreign country for stealing.Quote:

I've never 'hated' Alabama, unless it's after a close game like this. They always have good players that (mostly) represent their team well. The number of four and five stars on teams like that make it difficult for the Bulldogs to compete with them consistently.
I don't care for Auburn and really dislike Cam. He's still a crybaby.
Thanks, Trooper...
I’ve decided Hurts has no pulse. If he progresses at a similar rate, he’ll easily be the (statistically) best ever for Bammer.
I read on AL.com that just prior to the last score, he turned to an ESPN employee and say “I was built for this. “. Humble but confident. I like his character, a lot.
I don’t see him as an nfl starting qb, he prolly could be a backup or play in Canada.
Thanks for your service & Semper Fi!
Dude, we would’ve lost several games sans Hurt. He’s a difference maker.Quote:

I'd take a chance on him. He has the one thing that is unteachable ... incredible poise (on the same order as Brady & Montana). The rest of it can mostly be taught and developed.Quote:

Hurts is so cold blooded that his nickname should be “The Zombie QB”. And just like a zombie Hurts will binge on your brain, harvest your heart then suck out your soul for dessert.
Thank you, sir. Jalen is a great college QB and I think he's progressing nicely. Year over year, he's a completely different passer and he has two more years to grow.
His character and poise are second to none. He works his tail off and leads in both word and deed. I cannot think of a single time we needed a score and he hasn't come through... because there isn't one. Even in the NC game last year, we were down, and Jalen led us to the go ahead score.
Jalen is hurt right now. I don't know what the issue is exactly, but he's gimped in the lower body and he's playing with less range of motion and explosiveness that was there last season and is noticeably not there this season. That's how good he is. He's been injured most the year and most cannot tell. Again, I don't know exactly what the injury is, but that red sleeve on his leg (I'm told) is there for a reason.
