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

That was at ole miss against a pop warner defense listening to golf claps. LSU has the second best d in the country and he'll be dealing with tiger stadium noise. I read somebody said kiffin calls the audibles yea but who relays the checks to the rest of the team? Doesn't matter if he gets rattled or not you can't communicate when you can't hear each other that's the issue with the crowd. Plus like I said our defense hurst is way below avg as a downfield passes that shrinks the field more hits by bigger stronger athletes than ole miss. Constant pounding play after play he hasn't been hit by a guy like Beckwith yet. Look the kid is dynamic and very composed but there are things that even composure doesn't hold up against.

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.

Pretty sure the receivers get the play from Kiffin. Hurts relays it to the RB and OL. It's not bad if you can essentially speak it in their ears.

That must be why, before bama's bye, they allowed as many sacks (14) as Ole Miss, right?

Also, a little insider football knowledge, containing a mobile QB has more to do with what happens once he's outside the pocket (where the OL usually isn't) than what happens when he's inside the pocket (where the OL usually is).

It's amazing that Saban still has no system for calling plays in noisy Tiger Stadium.

Y'all got the talking part down...as you do every year!

Well are we going to be fair or not? What's the point of looking at stats that involve players that won't see the field in a close game?

Your 2nd string OL (at least a handful of them) will see the field in a close game. Offensive linemen in big boy college teams rotate as games wear on.

Not that much, unless there's an injury. And there's a big difference in plugging in one back up and using the entire second team.

I don't think so. If he didn't get rattled on his first collegiate snap ( a fumble), get rattled at Ole Miss after the sack fumble, or get rattled at Neyland, then I don't think TS will bother him.
