that would make for an interesting Alabama vs Auburn game the next couple of years.

We already have some quarterbacks on campus that can’t pass worth a shite.

DIdnt Auburn already try that Franklin guy? Hurts is basically the same player, not quite as fast though.

He's already had a few years of college coaching so Gus might not frick him up.

Gus wouldn't take him honestly. Auburn doesn't quite have the talent to surround him with so he wouldn't be nearly as successful there. Hurts is much, much worse at being a quarterback than most people realize. He wouldn't even make it at Georgia Tech because he can't make simple read option plays at Bama with only one read involved. We wanted to utilize rpo's but he always just took off or ran around like he had ants in his pants. Truth is that he is just a really good athlete that is a quarterback because he is a coaches son.

Best of luck to the young man when he transfers this fall but I would be willing to bet that he won't Garner the attention of as many big time programs as most of you think or expect. Last year he was great at throwing to Ridley only if he was wide arse open and he can run on defenses that are less than stellar. He can hand the ball off with the best of them and won't throw many picks but that's because he rarely throws the ball at all on dropbacks.

I will be a fan of his wherever he ends up and I appreciate his hard work and effort the last two years. A great representative and teammate but not a good quarterback. Lane Kiffin was a magician with him in 2016 and imo he should go play for Kiffin again. Not many coaches are going to be able to hide how bad he is.

I think he would be outstanding in Gus' O. It appears we are good at the QB position for the foreseeable future though. If he wants to transfer to Auburn, the added depth would be nice.

It'd be the perfect high-profile example of how effed up that rule is.

I thought we were holding out for Fromm transfer after Fields wins Heisman?

I would then have zero angst playing auburn. We could sell out on the run. Aubies offense is good when the qb is a true dual threat. Hurts only excels at running.
We could cover every receiver one on one and bring the heat and crowd the line. He wouldn't complete but maybe 6 or 7 passes. We would beat them like we did in 11 and 12 when they had no passer.
If tua plays against aubie last year, aubie loses. If he played the whole Georgia game, it is a 14-17 point Bama win.
