Sophomore Jalen Hurts is 25-2. And he IS the running game.

And last year - against Clemson - he engineered the go ahead touchdown with 2 minutes remaining...

Saban himself said the defense ran out of gas and his goal was to fix THAT!

And then, of course, there was that 'pick play' in the end zone that won the game. That QB is in the pros now.

And Jalen Hurts has had a year to study that play. If you can't beat 'em...

I just want to pump up your hopefulness!!!
