The college football world is a lot different than it was just last year.
The new four-game redshirt rule has changed the landscape. Players are transferring.
So, it wouldn't have surprised many had Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts decided to find a new place to play.
Instead, Hurts - who sports a 26-2 record as a starter - appears to be content as Tua Tagovailoa's backup in Nick Saban's offense to the delight of Crimson Tide fans everywhere.
He's not just doing it for his love of the program, SEC on CBS analyst Gary Danielson told me Wednesday during "The Opening Kickoff" on WNSP-FM 105.
