Does Hurts fail under the pressure of Death Valley on a Saturday night?

I think it's a big no, but (I guess) it's a concern.

He has played at Tennessee, but Neyland is not Death Valley, and Tennessee does not actually have a defense.

Maybe I'm in the minority but Hurts is not the only person I'm worried about.
Saban puts winning above all else. He has showed many times that he does not hesitate to take people out who aren't getting it done.
I hope we're not just preparing for Hurts, but for whatever alternate takes his place should Saban decide to sub him out.

He's certainly performed well so far this season.
LSU should try to "make him play quarterback" which is a Muschamp quote. I would much rather watch Hurts try to beat a team throwing than running. I know he can flat out run at an All American level. He's a decent short passer, but his long ball is not fully developed at the moment. All in all, JH is a really good athlete and competitor, but his strength is running the ball. LSU needs to not let JH beat them with his legs.

Good discussion. Enjoy the game.

I think this is the key to the game. The CEO said on his show this evening that the plan is to contain him and not allow him to break a run in a one on one situation. The LSU defense is certainly capable of doing that.
The atmosphere is going to be insane in this game. Tennessee was big but, it's not the LSU-Bama game in TS at night.
It will be one heck of a great football game.

Nothing seems to rattle him.

we'll have to wait and see. They have played better on the road though.

No, I believe he fails because it's the best defense he will face all year long and will be pressured all night like he hasn't had to deal with yet. LSU is going to give the boy fits all night long. Just watch and see.

I feel like he will look composed as always, but I see him being 50/50, probably starting out slow and a little messy like he did in the USC game, and getting better and more adjusted as the game goes on.

Should be more concerned about him falling under the pressure of him throwing into the teeth of the best defensive backfield he has faced.
But yeah, the stadium too.

No, kid has ice in veins. He will keep getting up and moving on.

Hurts gets all the plays from Kiffin. Will Kiffin fail under the pressure of Death Valley on a Saturday night? Maybe he should sit in the sky box.

Every Bama QB under Saban has struggled in their wins in Tiger Stadium, but they are great at making plays when they need to the most.

IMO LSU has to:
1. Stop the run
2. Contain/Rattle Hurts
3. Establish a solid run game
All in order to have a chance to win. I know it does't take a football genius to figure that out but its facts. Im a huge LSU fan but this Bama team is good.

McCarron & Sims both did for 3 quarters. They showed up when it mattered though. 8 imagine Hurts will have a similar opportunity this weekend, just a matter of if he can capitalize or not.

I don't really think the stadium will bother hurts. I think this game will be decided by one or two mistakes and I just hope they fall lsu's direction.

If LSU learns how to cover 5 yards out, he might.

He may not play well, but it will have nothing to do with Tiger Stadium.
