Seems like Jalen Hurd has possibly torn his ACL in his right knee during practice.

Just like him, his knee quit.

Yeah, yeah, I know...I'm a #1@khead.
Trust me, I don't want to intentionally see anyone hurt but I'm 110 percent a true believer in Karma...

Looking back on it, you're right.
He did what was best for him and that's my problem with the guy...he was all me and mine from day one.
He got sold a bill of goods just like we all did, but from day one I had the feeling he never gave it his all when he was here.

That said, yes some the blame lies with the coaches at that time and the culture they bred into the program.

Well, he talked about transferring before the bowl game with Northwestern, but Butch and the offense moved Alex Ellis to basically the blocking back and that scheme worked for that game. Come spring practice, they tried Ethan Wolfe as the blocking back in that scheme and word was he was not tough enough so they dropped using a lead blocker for Hurd.

The 2016 team had weak strength and conditioning that year, so running the ball that year was tough to do, and I'm sure this added to Hurd's frustration. During the Georgia game Hurd caught a pass and trotted his way to the end zone only to be blindsided and fumbled ball away to UGA. Man, that hurt...The only other remembrance of that play was the beet-red face of Butch, whom I thought was going to croak...Hurd came back later and caught a TD pass from Dobbs, so he wasn't completely out of the game from a mental standpoint.

Next week game was at Texas AM, and during the week Butch mentioned that Hurd had a lower leg injury and would not be able to play, but no one was able to confirm if this was true or not. Later, when Hurd quit I was pissed, just like most other UT fans. Also that year Preston Williams quit during the year as well...Both transferred out and had stellar careers at other places. To me this was a bad look for Butch. If Hurd wanted to play WR, why not let him, after all this is Pruitt's philosophy...

First and foremost I would never wish anyone to get injured. But the fact that he did...I couldn’t possibly give a rats a$$. That dude was such a cancer it’s not even funny. When you think back to all of the crappy luck we’ve had over the last 10 year (from coaching searches in the worst possible years to suspensions to injuries etc)...Hurd was one of those bad breaks we got. He was supposed to be our Derek Henry. A Tennessee raised transcendent player that could help elevate the entire program. He could’ve been that player. Instead he was nowhere near as good as Kamara and an absolute synergy killer in the locker room. My most vivid memory of his will always be him pulling up and trotting before he got to the end zone only to get absolutely decleated and fumbling. That one play perfectly summarizes his career here. He was good enough to get wide open and score an easy td. But was too arrogant and cocky to capitalize and then pouted and blamed others for the play. How the hell was that anyone else fault? Idiot!!!

Since when is showboating and pouting a good decision? Because showboating got his clock cleaned, and then he quit on his teammates. Sucks he got hurt, but I'm not gonna cry over a quitter.

It was the same exact play he scored a TD vs. UF a week before only to the other side. He was blindsided and fumbled. Does this really look like he quit?:

Does this look like a player that is showboating?

Here's the "showboating" play. Do you honestly think he is showboating?

Here is the same play the week prior vs. UF to the other side without a WR to the side he ran the route. If the WR simply ran a down and end or out that defender is out of the way. See 7:41 in the 3rd quarter:
