You don't need an athletic QB to run this offense. Our bread and butter play is, was, and will be inside zone, which only requires the QB to hand off. It isn't a read if we block the DE. If you can't run inside zone in our offense, that's on the OL, not the QB.

This dude can run as well as pass, that's for sure:

Someday we need a tutorial on this. I just spent some time reading about the inside zone run. So, anytime we block both ends, this it is just a straight handoff without a QB read.

I then read an article about the Iso Weak where we get the defense thinking zone run to one side and a TE blocks back on the weak side for the RB. There were two clips of Hurd running this play for big gains.

Interesting stuff and not easy when you didn't play football.

Kid was a HS Sr playing SEC football and doing it well. He has some IT factor to him. He stood in and took shots and made plays. He can be a good one like a Connor Shaw type

He threw for 167 yards against us and everybody is acting like he's the next Peyton. Our defense was depleted at that point. big deal. His best game was against Missouri, a defense even worse than ours, 254 yards. Against Clemson, he went 7-17 for 41 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. 18-33 against Florida for 213 with no touchdowns and an interception. The only two decent defenses he played shut him down. Excuse me for being less than impressed because he played decent against us and Mizzou

This. The only 2 games where he played a defense that wasn't absolutely terrible. He looked like a QB that shouldn't be in the SEC. on top of that, the other two games where he played a P5 team he was a game manager, didn't do really anything wrong but also didn't look like an amazing QB. Eventually he'll be asked to lead his team to a victory over a superior team, the question is, can he do it? Maybe, maybe not, we haven't seen enough of him to say imo.

He wasn't really shouldn't have been high school SR though. He is a week younger than Guarantano. He would have been 19 during the high school football season had he stayed in.

He is mentioned in this article. He would have been closer to 20 than turning 19 when graduating.

Bentley is the same age as Guarantano. Stop with the HS bull crap, he was held back a year in middle school for sports reasons and made up the extra credit in HS so he could graduate "early". He's the same age as every other freshman. He was about to turn 19 when he played Tennessee

That "HS Senior" line that the media obsesses over is something that annoys me a bit.

Jake Bentley was a couple weeks from turning 19 when we played him last year. He'll be 20 this fall.

He's the son of a high school dynasty coach that knew every trick in the book to give his son an advantage his entire way up from pee wee leagues (I don't mean that negatively, just that he wasn't some 17 year old kid).

That's why he reclassified and showed up at Carolina "a year early". He's the same age as Guarantano.

Yeah, that story was so overblown. "HS Senior yaw yaw yaw...".

Kid wasn't 16, he was the same as any true freshman, and his stats were slaw.

No... I'm not a Bentleyiver (can I coin that?)

I get the Bentley hype, but I don't buy that he's the best QB in the division. He's not even best among the known commodities (Lock at Mizzou takes that title). Bentley threw for 9 TD's and 4 INT's in 7 games. Good TD:INT ratio, but in seven games. Good thing Carolina is down to score only 18 points per game this year, I guess.

I'd take Dormady, Eason, Lock before Bentley. Maybe even whatever Florida puts out there
