Jalen Hurd is pretty overrated

I did one of these for Josh Hobbs and it went over well, so here is part 2!
Looking at Tennessee's 6 'big' games last year, it's clear that Hurd is almost as overrated as Dobbs.
Oklahoma: 24 rushes, 106 yds (4.4 YPC), 1 TD
Florida: 28 rushes, 102 yds (3.8 YPC), 2 TDs
Arkansas: 19 rushes, 90 yds (4.7 YPC)
Georgia: 21 rushes, 80 yds (3.8 YPC)
Alabama: 18 rushes, 92 yds (5.1 YPC), 1 TD
Northwestern: 24 rushes, 130 yds (5.4 YPC), 1 TD
Average: 23 rushes, 100 yds (4.5 YPC), 0.8 TDs
These are very pedestrian statistics for a back getting 23 carries a game. Why is he celebrated as an elite back?
Elite backs don't have well under 5 YPC.

You're scared of the fighting eyebrows and it's hilarious.

In his defense this was Butch's/Dobbs' fault

Cause all running backs do is run the ball, right?

Why do so many UF fans on here spend so much time obsessing over UT? I mean Jesus, you've won 11 in a fricking row against us so we should be the least of your worries. But nope. This is like the 5th UF thread about UT today. Let's be honest now... is it fear?

It's gloating. A foreign concept to Tennessee fans

The amount of threads Florida fans have made regarding Tennessee this off-season has got to be a record. I wonder if UT is on their mind?

I will say this, Kanara is the real deal and will eventually overtake Hurd. Bookmark me

How many Dogecoins are you willing to wager?

Tennessee fans think it's fear every year, yet we're going on 12 straight years of getting whooped in a row.
Ask yourself this: could Florida fans be sick and tired of the unwarranted respect and offseason crowns Tennessee gets on a yearly basis?

It's equivalent to Arky fans starting threads about LSU. They just have some infatuation.

Gloating? 
This is gloating:
Vo11s, bitch *proceed to list scores of last 11 games*
Thoroughly analyzing our individual players and trying to convince yourself they aren't good because for example, Hurd's YPC is .5 lower than the supposed "standard?" Despite the fact he had 1300 yards and 12 TD while splitting carries with Dobbs and AK? That's not gloating. It's denial.

I can't help but recognize reality. Tennessee fans think they have the 2nd best back in the conference when in reality they have a back that was just above Kelvin Taylor's level last season

How much does that translate to in Unicorn Farts?
Posted on 8/16/16 at 1:33 pm to Vols&Shaft83
1.0234 is the current rate
