This is one of the most important keys to this game for me.
I'm very interested to see how Hurts reacts to Tiger Stadium after yall have had all day to get good and rowdy. There is a reason its tough there at night. Y'all damn idiots start drinking at 5 in the morning and by game time its full on hysteria.
By God it fricking works though.
I hope he doesnt get rattled. He hasnt yet and hes been tested with some pretty brutal hits and has had some bad plays that he came back from without acting like they ever even happened.
He's far more mature than any true freshman ive ever seen but this is gonna be a whole different animal for him. Looking forward to it, Tigers.

I don't think the stadium will bother him more his lack of the forward pass will. Alabam plays better in the road. It's kind of weird.

How were the crowds @OM, Ark, and UT?

Are we going to keep asking this question? He's handled the Dallas stadium stage, the Oxford stage, and the Knoxville stage. He'll be fine.

UT is prob the most comparable but even then the night game factor and TS. He has been fairly composed through the season. If its tight late in the game then I think it could become a factor.

I think it'll mostly depend on what happens early.
As long as the Tide's defense does what it does and keeps LSU's offense in check, it'll keep the pressure off him. But if LSU scores early and puts the onus on Bama's offense, it could get interesting.
On the flip side, Kiffin could trust him to take some shots early and see what he can do. I don't think the atmosphere will be too much for him, though. I think that part of the game is overrated by a lot of people.

same way he's handled himself at Ole Miss and at Tennessee. when you get up on a team 20+ they tend to shut up.

All depends on how fast of a start bama gets off to. If bama gets up early I don't think the crowd atmosphere affects him too much. Other way around and Death Valley might eat him alive. Can't wait to see what happens.

Home crowds having a negative impact on the opposition are overblown, but it can have a positive impact on the home team. It's just noise after all, I doubt that will scare a kid that's proven to be as cool as a cucumber. That's just who this cat is. He's not going to get rattled. Could he have a bad game? Sure, it won't have anything to do with him losing his cool though.

Alabama is putting up 50 PPG away from home.
I think we'll put up somewhere around 28-31. If that's being affected, so be it.
Hurts will be fine, he makes smart decisions and takes what the defense gives him.

Once we go up by a couple of scores he will be ok. Might be a little nervous till then.

Wait, I thought Myles Garrett knocked him out of the game.
Posted on 10/25/16 at 10:33 am to ThaKaptin
The same way he has handled every other stadium.

What up Kap
To answer the question on Hurts. you can try to recreate the effects of TS with sound effects or noise machines, but when you have over 100,000 screaming fans, who'd love nothing more than to see your complete destruction on the field you lose a sense of yourself and force mistakes

If Bama gets up early the crowd won't be much of a factor. If lsu scores first and defense holds Bama a few series, the place will be very rowdy. Just depends on the flow of the game

I have no worries about his mental toughness. Also, tiger stadium at night is the most overrated thing in all of sports. Only thing intimidating us the possibilty of having to fight a bunch of drunk cajuns on the way out. Bama is a dominating road team once again this year

You guys will understand if we pay absolutely zero attention to this, given the fact that we have to always listen to the same shite in the same year about Neyland Stadium. Blah blah blah, 100,000 fans, blah blah blah, toughest place to play, blah blah blah, hard for opposing teams to hear, blah blah blah.

Fans will not play one single down
Noise does not affect ball trajectory or speed
The most over rated aspect of football is home field
Hurts will not be concerned with a drunk coon arse
When you play, you are not focusing on the crowd. Over the years Tiger stadium is drunk, loud and obnoxious during a night game.....and Bama has won way more than they've lost by a large margin. What is going on in TS stands will not impact the players between the lines.
What does matter:
If LSU plays well and Bama does not, LSU will win.
If Bama plays well and LSU does not, Bama will win
Whoever turns the ball over will probably not win
Whoever plays the smartest, soundest, error free, wins the matchup battles and controls the ball will win
Hank Boudreaux will have no bearing on it.

I dont care what anybody says. I was just in Knoxville and it was every bit as loud as I've ever heard TS.
I've been to many Iron Bowls in Auburn and NO PLACE is louder than that fkn place when we are there. My god, its dam painful to be honest. This is all such bullshite.
