Tua and Hurts both seem like high character young men. Like any youngsters, I expect that there are probably a couple of bad decisions in their life but their character seems above reproach. As I said about Amari Cooper, they just seem to be the type of young man you hope your daughter brings home, excepting their Bama affiliation. You have to pull for them to succeed to some degree.

Yeah, it's really hard not to like Tua.

I have to say the same about Jalen. He showed so much leadership and character during and after the game that it is unreal.

Very true.

I don’t like Jalen hurts the qb.

But I do like Jalen hurts the young man. My guess is he Will do ok When his days at Bama are over.

Very true. Lot of guys would have mentally checked out in that situation. Yet, after Tua got his first TD, biggest congrats he got was from Jalen.

IMHO Jalen seems to struggle progressing through the reads and holds the ball too long. He is still young and learning though.

It had to be devastating to be benched at halftime. I just cannot imagine being able to gather the emotions and putting them aside.

On the opposite end was that kid who punched a Georgia player then went after an assistant on his own team. Once he's gone from the bubble of being a football player at Alabama That dude will be getting in some serious trouble out in the real wold with that kind of personality and those anger issues.

That was horrible. I can understand a fight with a player, even with a teammate. But to go after a coach??? I hope he is able to correct his behavior quickly.

Yeah but when you're 20 years old you're done being who you are for the most part. Just like you can see Jalen Hurts is going to do well after Alabama you can see that this kid is going to let his emotions get the better of him somewhere down the road. You hope that's not the case but in that situation with so much on the line he thought of no one but himself. How's he going to act when someone cuts him off driving home or disrespects his gf at a night club?. Is he going to be the better man and walk away knowing it's not worth it? I wouldn't bet on it.

Problem with Tebow wasn't the religion, it was that he was an average player who got a ton of press due to his religion.

Uh...

Tebow was one of the best college QBs of all time, and that's not really debatable.

The balls will be cupped, gently.

The shaft will be stroked with care.

Baker really liked it when I wou........:oops:

One day people will figure out Urban is most dangerous with big body QB's.
