Players who did not get a fair shake

Hurd could have been an NFL RB but Butch’s offense was a horrible match for his skill set…imagine if Hurd had gone to Ohio State and lined up in the I. He’d of been in the Heisman hype and one of the first RBs picked. Butch took the second coming of Eddie George and make him an East/West runner looking for cut back seams. And to add insult to injury, he had the best possible RB for his offense and kept him second string.

Good coaches adjust their schemes to match their teams strengths - Butch would never be mistaken for a good coach.
You do realize Hurd was on pace to be the all time leading rusher at UT had he played 4 years and remained healthy?

With the fans most definitely. He redeemed himself in the eyes of many by being so good down the stretch his senior year. He’s one of my favorites because that guy took an absolute beating and was able to put together an impressive senior season when you look at the numbers.

Anyone who still thinks Kiffin can't coach should really take a look at what he was able to turn Crompton into, with a fairly garbage team around him, his senior year.

Jalen Hurt came to UT because he would be allowed to play RB. At least that is what I remember. Other teams wanted him on the other side of the ball or at TE. He wanted to be a RB. Then he didn't.
