When he 1st left i thought he was a traitor..
Then i did some reading , and people in the know said botch Jones promised him at least 2 years in a row to put together some real I-formation running plays with those "H-backs" as lead blockers that botch always talked about but never used because he ran tje exact same RPO run play 26 times per game....
He was a tough runner and would have done very well and definitely broken the all time UT rushing record with a lead blocker and a downhill running start.... Botch was so damn stupid...Hurd got the ball 90% of the time standing flat footed in the backfield, forcing him to bulldoze a couple guys just to get to the LOS ...still would have easily been the most productive back in UT history if je stayed.
Botch was a full of sheot used car salesman who lied so much the players came to hate him. He was a dbag. In every sense.
