Dude, he didn't have to run for his life last year. It looked that way because he couldn't stay in the pocket and make reads. The staff seriously simplified the offense to just one read. Basically, look for Ridley and if he is open throw it, if he isn't then take off.

Those are facts. Take a look at the game stats from every big game he played in and it was always around 80-100 yards in the air and 40 or so on the ground. Lane Kiffin is just a fricking wizard that knew how to get the most from him. He rarely threw picks because he always threw short or just took off.

You could have been quarterback of our 2016 team and probably won 10 games. The defense alone scored enough to have a winning record without even having an offense.

There was a #2 WR that stepped up. Kiffin's Offense consisted of the bubble screens or the deep ball. Last year the intermediate routes were not open unless it was Ridley, Hurts had to hold the ball because their wasn't anyone open early. Most QBs would have thrown the ball away or taken the sack. Hurts at least got something positive out of it. Run him off, TCU will love to have him.
