Let the gas off on one play and paid for it. Big picture: has busted his azz for 3 years, doesn't showboat, doesn't trash talk, blocks like a mofo, work horse of a running back in a scheme that frequently leaves him fighting like hell to get back to the LOS, reliable, has won multiple games for us, and is still likely to be the all-time leading rusher in UT history. I'd bet nobody is more unhappy or embarrassed with that play than him. The small number of fans trash talking him and seeming to delight in him "getting benched" suck.

Tim Irwin is as hard on people as anyone and said much the same thing. He said Hurd's as far from a hot dogger as possible. Mental error that won't happen again.

Did he not get a personal foul called on him against Ohio for a headbutt on the sidelines?

Yep. He learned a good lesson yesterday. Football is a humbling sport. He's a team player and a baller. We will need him big time next week. GBO!!

Hurd's contributions were needed in every win this year. Any of those five wins easily could have been losses without his contributions. The OP is exactly right. Hurd is invaluable to this team.

C'mon guys, he played and scored a TD after the fumble.

Either he got injured or something else happened - it wasn't the fumble that helped him find the bench.

Hurd is a beast. Without him this team wouldn't be what it is.

When we were trying to run the clock out with 2 minutes left in the game, I was really wishing we had Hurd in there.

I would bet Butch said/says nothing to Hurd regarding that error, knowing full well he need not...

I agree. The kid has balled out his whole career. All this " he's overrated" and etc. is just a bunch of BS. ehen he's gone all these whiners will realize just how good he is.

Does anyone else think that just maybe he was expecting Malone to lay a hand on or at the least slow that guy coming up from behind him down?

I respect Hurd. That was a costly mistake. Dobbs makes mistakes too but always seems to redeem himself. He did not seem injured to me and yes, he did play after the fumble (it was early). I personally thought he was benched cause of the fumble after the game was manageable (Deboard should have ran the clock out and gotten a first down instead of giving the ball back to GA being too conservative. We've been through this.) That is not talking smack, just what I thought. We got lucky, again. Am I happy we got lucky? Yes. Do I think we need to improve so we can win without being lucky? Yes. GA ran it up our throats all game against our linebackers. Anyway, Hurd wanted to go in, he was ready. We have Kamara too y'all, he is faster but not as smashmouth. Hurd will be good to go against A&M. But we have more weapons than Hurd. Jennings is the man and Malone DEFINITELY needs more touches.

He made a mistake. He knows it. No need to dwell on it. He'll be fine for next week and we'll need him.

Open post to Jalen Hurd...

You have carried and helped carry this team for 3 years. You have been blown up in the backfield numerous times due to lack of blocking and as far as I know never complained or showed anything in public to embarrass your teammates. You have balled out in so many ways and absolutely grinded teams down. You have been so unselfish to stay in and block, share the backfield with AK unselfishly and been a joy to watch. You mean everything to true fans and we are behind you. Absolutely behind you.

It's not a lot of people, but read the "Congrats, but Hurd got benched and he knows it" thread. Just that title is annoying. Wth! Football fans sure like to eat their own and kick people when they're down.
