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.

40 TDS vs 10 INTS for 5000 yards. Again, watch the games, Hurts had to run for his life with Bama's OL. His running allowed the team to cover up that weakness.
