Jalen Hurts passed for a very respectable 395 yards and rushed for another 96. Those are Heisman worthy numbers, but when you lose to a team that’s just 4-2 coming into the game and tied for next to last in your conference at kickoff, those numbers may not matter.
It will cause Hurts more damage because of who he lost to much more than just losing period.
A Heisman worthy quarterback finds a way to win and Jalen didn’t do that. With Tua out of commission this week and with a bye week next week, the spotlight was glaring on Joe Burrow this week as they faced Auburn as the front runner.
