I really believe Jalen Hurts is a winner and I certainly don’t pin this loss completely on him. But the fact of the matter is that against elite teams he really struggles throwing the football. From what I’ve seen from Tua, his passing ability has so much more upside than Jalen. So I hope that we at least have an open QB competition in the spring and fall. Auburn beat us because they have great balance on offense. To consistently win the big time games you really have to be able to throw the football consistently. We simply have not been able to do that.
Jalen really needs to improve his ability to go through his progressions. He’s able to do that when he doesn’t have pressure. Great QB’s are able to get to their second and third reads by pocket awareness and movement that allows them to continue looking down field.
