  • Jackson also had two tackles and half of a tackle for loss at safety for the Crimson Tide in its 48-43 win at No. 17 Ole Miss.
 
I like how Hurts just gets up and on to the next play. After a big run, after a big throw, after a mistake.... No emotion....just next play please.

I like it too, but I actually heard someone complaining about this very thing!! :shock: They actually said, he acts like he doesn't give a shit! I told them that you want your QB much like you want your pitcher on the mound, even keel, never too high never too low!!
 
The Snake was great at staying cool under pressure and Joe Montana wasn't bad. Hurts comes across as more in that category than anything else. It seems it's his greatest gift as a TF and it's letting him compete, in spite of real bullets firing.
 
I knew we had us a QB when he fumble the ball on his first time. Coach Saban send him back in on the next time Bama had the ball. So I for one think we have something good, NO great in this young man.
"Remember, Hurts' first snap was a fumble," Hurts said. "Might I remind you, Lamar Jackson's first snap in college was an interception against Auburn. So sometimes you just have to wait and give somebody an opportunity. ESPN Zubin Mehenti
