No one really knows the truth to it. We may never know. Hopefully its not a big deal and he's back and ready for a&m.

Hurd's effort can't be questioned. Made a mistake, but from all reports that had nothing to do with it.

You're cute comment is noted though.

Like I said that was every bit as bad as Malik's mistake. I'm sure Malik got a chewing and so should Hurd. Both will learn from it. Thank God for the Hail, Mary and the cross on Butch's shoe which I hope is there every game from here on out.

You keeping Butch's "List of Names"??!!

Frankly...I think Hurd was benched, and like what is actually said @halftime...only those close to the situation on the sideline really know.

That's spelled T-A-F for the "List"....since you're keeping track, Face.

So he screws up and you leave him in to score a touchdown later in the game, and then bench him for his earlier mistake, and that is supposed to send a message? That makes zero ****ing sense

This. I've read rumors about a possible small concussion on the TD he scored, but I can't remember how brutal of a hit he took so I'm not sure.

I think it had more to do with what transpired after that score, if I recall correctly someone mentioned Hurd and Jones had words. This was what was in the game thread. Who knows, hopefully hes back Saturday

Those that think Hurd was benched because of his fumble either missed 2 entire quarters of the game or they are saying that because they wanted Butch to bench him.

Not so sure it was an injury with him being on special teams at the end of the game. We may or may not ever know the real reason but whatever it was I hope it's resolved by Saturday. Although I do have full confidence in Kamara and John Kelly.

Timing's all wrong for him to be punished for the near-TD fumble. Besides, you don't punish headspace & timing errors that way; benching is for more deliberate and eggregious acts of rebellion. So don't think that was it at all.

I also don't think he's injured. There was ZERO evidence of that--no medical monitoring, no favoring anything, nothing--and the sideline reporter was watching for signs the entire second half.

Coach did say that Jalen had a "lower extremity problem" and refused to say anything more. Here's how I interpret that: the lower extremity was his butt, and the problem was, it acted dumb. As in, he said something inappropriate to one of the coaches, acted out in some way, and got benched for being a "dumb azz." Alternatively, maybe Butch was thinking of "foot in mouth disease." Either way, lower extremity issue.

No worries, he's a young man, and young men make heated remarks that they learn to regret. No permanent harm, no permanent foul, we'll see him back on the field carrying the load for the team next week.

Go Vols!

The way he jumped on the pile on the winning TD didnt seem hurt then - unless that was the # 1 that plays defense

He played after halftime.

Butch said he was injured and left it at that. If the team felt anything more was anybody's damn business they would have said more. That's it.

This is exactly how I interpreted the situation as well.
