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.

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.

I respectfully disagree. When Tua came in during any game the second and third receiver all of a sudden got open and caught passes. You guys really don't understand how bad he held Calvin back even though he was his only read most of the season. He cost ridley lot of money and he cost us a national championship in 2016. You can have him after he transfers in a few weeks.

Even in our spring game he would drop back and get confused or take off. He isn't even the second best quarterback on our team.

Regardless, Tua would've beat out any other quarterback this fall so it is a moot point anyway. Tua was gonna win the job even if Hurts was as good as you think he is. I feel sorry for the rest of the conference. A Saban team and defense with a Watson or Mariotta type at quarterback isn't really fair to the rest of you guys.
