The Jalen Hurts era as Alabama’s passing threat has come to an end, long live the new King. He was not overthrown as King, it was an abdication brought on by lack of accomplishment. No one will ever say that Jalen Hurts lacked the heart, the will, or the trust of the team, he just couldn’t do what needed to be done and he, Nick Saban and most of the people who didn’t have their head in the sand all knew it and saw it coming.
When I wrote an article last week about how Alabama defeated Clemson despite Jalen Hurts’ poor play, you wouldn’t believe the amount of hate mail I got.
