Maybe Warner on Clemson. Can't think of anyone else. Doubt he starts on Bama

Jamaal over Clemson's RB

You think? He had 2 really good years. Granted last year was better.

Dillinger

1/10/17 10:06am

Williams, Nacua, and Fred Warner are the only possibilities

Coop

Both teams had Freshman RT's

1/10/17 9:58am

Probably Eide and Norman. Started at SUU, started at BYU, would start anywhere.

Funny, but they developed pretty well for BYU

Crush4

F. Warner (Bama), Mangum (Bama), Williams (Clem), Nacua (both)

J.Trinnaman I feel like would have shot of starting if he was on either team.

A four-star recruit by Rivals and ESPN...No. 5 wide receiver in the nation..

Not based on actual performance.

Fred Warner and maybe Williams....

You don't think Mangum could start for Alabama?

CaliWG

1/10/17 10:10am

I think you have an inflated view of Mangum

BlueFrog

1/10/17 10:13am

I agree, but also Hurts has been pretty average all year with all that talent around him.

Dillinger

1/10/17 10:15am

Mangum couldn't start at BYU

BlueFrog

1/10/17 10:18am

Debatable. I would like to see what Hurts would have done on a BYU team with a bad line, no WR's and an often injured RB

Dillinger

1/10/17 10:20am

We aren't talking about Mangum having to thread the needle

Taysom's seniority & athleticism with the status of the OL coming into the year

CaliWG

1/10/17 10:25am

Still wasn't enough better than Taysom to unseat him. I think it would be similar in

Tough to compare

Ya, I wasn't impressed with Hurts at all. His best pass of the night was to

Crush4

1/10/17 10:13am

Hurts wasn't overly impressive but he also played against a really great team.

BigBrotherUte

Hurts is a terrible passing QB

CaliWG

1/10/17 2:07pm

There's a lot of players who are a better fit for college football than the NFL.

BigBrotherUte

1/10/17 4:06pm

40% of his completions were behind the LOS

CaliWG

1/10/17 4:36pm

Hurts plays within the scheme perfectly. He did just take them to the National

BigBrotherUte

1/11/17 8:37am

If he could throw a simple pass more than 5 yards down the field, Bama wins big

CaliWG

1/11/17 8:40am

He's talented, but overrated

1/11/17 9:03am

What could JW have done behind 'Bama's OL?

Byron McNertney

1/10/17 10:08am

Linehan for Clemson and that's probably it. Maybe Jamaal.

WhyKnot

1/10/17 10:10am

Good call
