re: Who will have a bigger season stats-wise between Hurts and White?

He doesn't fit the mold of a typical Alabama QB either, but we will see how that pans out. The fact that he probably has the best OL to protect him, he may be able to avoid forcing too many mistakes.

the recent qb whos game his is most similar to hurts is blake sims, who holds like all the bama qb records, only hurts is much more of a true passer than blake, is not bouncing around positions. If you recall we won the sec with blake. Hurts is by all accounts a quick study, has no problem with the playbook (is a coaches son), and in game situations is making fewer and less costly mistakes than our redshirt junior qb (and hurts has much better arm strength, accuracy on long passes, and running ability). Kiffin knows how to ease a qb in with playcalling, and the supporting cast on offense around the qb is insane this year. There is no team in the country with the players to cover ridley,stewart, foster/dieter, and oj howard at the same time while also trying to account for a true running threat at qb. Plus our defense is going to be a huge strength again.
