Hurd should have left last year, and with a proper run offense could have been a Heisman candidate. His was one of the most wasted talents ever. A football player at the Power 5 level brings in much more revenue than the value of a degree, few of which get one. As far as teamates are concerned. they should be happy for him, unless they are jealous he had the gumption to leave when they don't.
Yet, in his own statement he says a concussion sidelined him for the a&m game. Covering for the teammates? Covering for lyle? Something isn't adding up.
