re: Interesting twist of events at the qb position...

Looking at our schedule, Ole Miss, Arkansas, UT, and LSU are probably the only teams that have better first unit defense than our second unit defense.

That is very homerish and just not true. That theme is being used to justify peoples opinion of Hurts and the fact He didn't have to face the 1st string defense which is a lot better than the 2nd.

MSU, Auburn, and TAMU all have very good players on their first team defense. Some that would start at Bama. Only Kentucky 1st team would match up to Bama's 2nd team.

And

USCw have a very talented team. Their roster is loaded with talent. Doesn't have nearly the amount of depth as Bama but they're talented.


I'm not saying Hurts isn't good or that he isn't the best QB on the team. That will be found out later. The Spring game isnt close to a real SEC game when it counts, in a packed stadium, with the pressure of the season and etc.

I also wish that we would have done an air raid offense for spring game just to see more of the qbs passing abilities (or lack there of)

Why in the world would the coaches do that when it's not close to the real style of offense run. The purpose of the spring game is to give the fans a look at the team and for them to "practice" the system the team runs in the fall. Why waste time on something that would have no bearing on the improvement of the teams preparation for the fall.
