re: Butch Jones says Jalen Hurd is the best running back in the country

I agree with this. Having seen all games in person he was a handful. Ut had some bigguns up front but Hurd could break tackles. Easily the best back I saw last year and I'm including Henry in that.

A lot depends on the type of back you want. Hurd is the embodiment of Old School football. He's absolutely punishing to defenders. I've seen faster backs but I don't remember another back who absolutely lived to terrorize defenders. He loves it.
