7 different players caught passes from Hurts
Hurts and J.K. Scott were the difference in the game

Maybe Saban will come to his senses and see that Tua needs to start now. It's a miracle he ever wins when he can't see what y'all see every week.

Jalen is one of the most under appreciated quarterbacks in the country. The kid has one loss on his resume and in that one loss, he pretty much had the game won with a minute left. He hit 7 different guys last night and was the difference in the game by far. When he was not getting protection, he turned losses into first downs. Now I’m not saying he doesn’t miss open receivers and is this prolific passer, but he has improved in my eyes. The deep ball to Ruggs was beautiful, and he made some big time plays in tough circumstances.

I haven’t heard/read where anyone has said anything about a lack of ground game last night. It was all Hurts passing or running last night. Seems like Saban is saving his backs for another game

Roll Tide Bill

And hurts had 0 designed runs against Tennessee i believe. Saban definitely has something up his sleeve...

Saban must be seeing something. He had a lot of praise for Hurts in the press conference after the game.

The question is if we are wanting the best running backs, the best receivers, linebackers...etc, why are we settling for a qb who is just plain OK...aj, coker, and even sims had a beautiful deep ball that is non existent with Hurts which really is killing our running game (LSU played with everyone near the line and shut us down...has nothing to do with holding back anything but has everything to do with the other team not afraid of any deep threat whatsoever) Yes, I think Jalen had his best passing game vs LSU...but it still honestly sucked...All I am saying is that we have a guy that can put fear in a defense with not only his running ability but more so his passing with Tua...There is absolutely no way we can have Tua ride the bench next year as much as he has this year unless Jalen really improves to that level

Just look at how many 3 and outs we had last night...our offense was absolutely sluggish for the most part which is inexcusable with how much talent we have literally everywhere...Sure, there were some missed pass interference calls and drops by our receivers, but we have seen Hurts' ceiling...just haven't seen Tua's yet

What does Saban compared to the experts on this site.

We definitely need to recommend some of our resident aldeer professionals to Saban. It obvious from the knowledge that comes from here Saban just doesn’t know

Not an expert by any means, just saying my opinion based on what I and many other people see and based on the actual facts of the stats...86th in the country in passing offense is pathetic for the #1 team...Hurts is 32nd in the country in passing efficiency behind even Etling for LSU and way behind Stidham

dude has some nothing but win and everyone is thinks he is a loser. R E L A X and enjoy the ride. tua will get his chance.

Why did Bama lose the Natty last year?

Why did Bama win every game except the natty last year?

Cause they didn’t trust Harris to get it done after Bo got hurt.

It seems logical that the person responsible for how "pathetic" Alabama's passing game is, is not Hurts , but Saban. He makes the decisions on personnel. So, if you want to quit settling for less than the best at QB (Tua) you have to get rid of Saban. Start the petition and I'll sign it so Alabama can quit squandering all this wasted potential. Can we nickname (pun intended) Saban "Can't Get Right" like the guy in the movie "Life"?

Defense and without some of their "NOTS" last year they woulda dropped a couple.

Alabama would've beat Clemson by 3 touchdowns, if Hurts could throw the ball, but he can't and never will. He's got one of the most talented receiving cores in the country and they might as well be making paper dolls on the sidelines. Putting Tua in at this point would be counter productive, but I'll be shocked if he starts next year.

Yep. And because Saban ran Kiffen off and Sark called a terrible game. Oh, Deshaun Watson was pretty good too

I understand the criticism of Hurts down field passing but if y’all think Tua would have started and we win that football game last night I think your dead wrong. Garbage time after the outcome has been decided is not a true measure of a QB. There are plenty of QBs with NFL arm talent that lose a bunch of games in college. Hurts is one of only two QBs in FBS that has played at least 8 games and thrown less than two picks. He takes care of the football and if Tua could do it better he would be startIng.

So the defense is responsible for some of the wins HMMM. I thought that would apply to any winning team. It Takes a good offense and defense to win most any game

100% the truth.
