The Time Jalen Hurts Led An Amazing Comeback Against Georgia

The year after Jalen Hurts was replaced by Tua Tagovailoa Alabama would once again face Georgia. In the 2018 SEC Championship backup QB Jalen Hurts stepped in for Tua after an ankle injury. Late in the fourth quarter Hurts would score the game winning touchdown leading the Tide to a 35-28 victory over the Bulldogs to win the conference.

[@sam21462]

@@LeskoBrandon2x - Oh don't take it wrong, he is no where near the top of the list of the greats, I would probably go Derrick Thomas or maybe Joe Namath if I had to pick. Jalen Hurts is my favorite, for as much off the field as on. I don't think the young man took a wrong step the entire time he was at The Capstone. He was touted as a sure fire Heisman winner as a freshman and lost his job a couple of years later. In all of that, and the intense media circus that went along with it, he stayed true to his school, his team, and himself. While everyone begged him to change position all he ever said was "no thanks, I'm going to be an NFL quarterback". It wasn't a vanity, it was just the reality in his mind and by god he was right. I could go on and on about the guy, he was simply the perfect college athlete and he capped his entire career off at Alabama by earning his degree before being off to Oklahoma to prove all of the doubters wrong, just as he seems to be doing with the Eagles in the present. I just think the world of the guy and hope his time in the NFL is as amazing as he deserves. Roll Tide Roll

[@josiahwillcoxon6113]

It made me so annoyed. Jalen gets benched for Tua and Tua leads the comeback and becomes the starter. Then Jalen does the same thing and he still gets benched.

[@Don-md6wn]

Pure nonsense. Jalen struggled against good defenses down the stretch. 4th quarter comeback to beat Mississippi State. The loss to Auburn. Alabama was lucky to make the playoff after that. Alabama's defense dominated Clemson so the offense was very conservative. Shut out by Georgia for a half. Jalen was struggling with his reads and accuracy as a passer. He got a lot better the year he backed up Tua and in his season at Oklahoma.

[@viceman8152]

Hurts could've left when his job was taken from him. But he stayed and got better and when his second chance, he was ready. Because he did that he got an opporutnity at OU, and now the Eagles. He is a natural born leader with an uncanny ability to know when to pass and when to run.

[@marktastic86]

Agreed. Saban has openly stated that Hurts is one of his favorite players he's ever coached. You can tell it's true considering how choked up he got in the post-game interview for this one while talking about Jalen.

[@johnnaylor1706]

That's what happened at Clemson .... which shoes the glaring difference between Saban and Sweeney. Sweeney is a great coach... Saban is a great coach and a great man.

[@viceman8152]

@@marktastic86 Yes, it is well known in Tuscaloosa that Jalen is Saban's favorite. Saban credits his family for his work ethic and he did come in with that. But I have noticed some Saban expressions and mannerisms in his post game interviews. If you think about it makes perfect sense because the way Jalen handles adversity is exactly how Saban would like for every player. Hurts lives Saban's philosophy better than everybody except maybe Saban himself.
