At the risk of sounding like a homer, this isn't even remotely true. Vols fan would be drooling over themselves to replace either with Fournette.


In a normal situation you're probably right but I don't think you grasp how bad our OL has been. Fournette wouldn't be getting great numbers with our OL and he would very like not do as well blocking.

If we had some of our great lines of old, I'd be all over Fournette. FWIW, I'm not saying Hurd is the better runner (he's not) but he is what we need.

PFF grades take in to account pass pro (where Hurd is #1) and Fournette is still much better overall. Fournette is a top 2 returning RB in college football. Hurd is around 15 based on all the data.

Obviously Hurd does a really good job blocking but looking at the entire body of work it's really not close.
