Hurd hurt himself by leaving. It cost him an entire year in the pros that Kamara was playing. He could have finished out the year, set the all time rushing record at Tennessee, which I feel would have really helped his draft stock. I don't wish bad on anybody, but I never understood his decision.
By the way, I was in Athens for the Dobbs nail boot. For some reason I was at the concession stand for the play Hurd lazed into the end zone, got whallopped and fumbled. I'm sure seeing that would have only increased my dislike for him, but as it turned out, what a magical game that was
