Mock drafts already have him as a first rounder. Unless he goes like allen, and wants a top 10 grade, he's gone.

Texas A&M is 12th in sacks per game nationally and 32nd in pass rating against.
LSU is 27th in sacks per game nationally and 25th in pass rating against.
Auburn is 42nd in sacks per game nationally and 22nd in pass rating against
So, while I think LSU and Auburn are better in pass defense all around than Texas A&M, A&M is comparable. Especially with the pass rush.
Hurts might make mistakes, he might not throw well, but at this point I'm pretty stone cold positive he won't be intimidated or taken out of his game against anybody.
True, but Hurts also struggled on any downfield passes against A&M. Feel like I saw a stat that he was 0-10 on passes thrown beyond 10 yards or something to that extent. He also threw two picks. So, I guess if A&M was his best and only real true test to this point, he was pretty shaky throwing the ball. There's no questioning, however, his ability to run the ball. He's a big guy that's hard to bring down and obviously has excelled in that throughout the season. Hopefully, LSU can limit his scrambling and designed run plays and force him to beat LSU with his arm.

Even with Lane at LSU?

Because he’s so good and because he’s contributed practically from the moment he step foot on campus, it’s easy to forget that Calvin Ridley is a sophomore as well. He’s arguably the most talented receiver in the SEC and he’s got another year before he can even think about the NFL.
And just six months younger than Amari Cooper. Imagine him still playing CFB!

That was supposed to happen in 2010 too.
Also, Lane probably won't be there. Good luck replicating his QB magic work

And he's going to struggle on them against LSU. He just does. It doesn't really have much to do with the pressure he feels, he just isn't quite there yet as a consistent passer.

He was 1 of 9 or something, would have been 2 of 9 but A&M tackled Ridley on one down the middle. But yea, it wasn't great.
He threw 2 picks, but 1 was a Hail Mary at the end of the half, so it doesn't really have much to do with the conversation.

Like I said above, he just is shaky throwing the ball. He's not a great passer at this point. He was just as bad against Tennessee, honestly.

Honestly - it's more like defending Georgia Tech than it is defending Ole Miss or even Arkansas or someone. We are basically running the shotgun veer. Whoever wins the trenches will control the Alabama O vs LSU D portion of the game.

Had this conversation with a friend while watching the aTm game Saturday. You might be right and assuming that there is a lot of talent behind whoever is leaving, hard to argue against it. I do think Kiffin is ready for another HC job and also think he is one of the best in the business but Saban has been very successful with a few different OC's, so I don't think losing Kiffin will kill your dream.

He's completed like 12 passes inside the hashes. Unless you're counting shovel passes

Offense will be better, despite a dropoff at WR (but improved passing from the QB should offset it). Secondary should be better, but there's no way that defensive line can be close to what it is this year, and that is too big to ignore.
