re: Jalen Hurd entered this season less than 900 yards away from VOLS rushing record

I've said for 3 years that Hurd does not fit this offense and part of the blame goes to Butch for not adjusting his offense to fit his players' strengths. Hurd is still a fricking bitch for his antics since the Georgia game tho.

Hurd doesn't fit any offense, at least not as a tailback.

He's too big and not fast enough or laterally quick enough to play in the spread option.

He's not tough or physical enough to run in a pro-style or I-form offense.


Simply put, he's too big to play small but too soft to play big.

One thing he does do well is catch the ball and operate as a downfield receiver out of the backfield. He'd be a good pass catching tight end in a spread system or a good option as a big receiver.
