re: Gump fans hyping Jalen Hurts

I've been keeping an eye on that battle as I'm curious to see who's gonna be starting for them.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out if Hurts is the guy. It usually takes some time for a true freshman to settle into ANY level of college football. Even more so in the SEC. Mistakes are going to be made as you wait for the game to slow down for them. Reading defenses, not being overwhelmed by the moment, trying to force a play vs recognizing its not there.. etc, etc.

Bama has some quality opponents on the schedule early, rather than cupcakes where they can easily win and try to get Hurts up to speed and work out any kinks in his game. IMO what happens is they start Cooper Bateman with packages for Hurts. Similar to Coker/Bateman last season. Either Bateman steps up and earns the job or they transition to Hurts when they think he's ready.
