Pulling for him. I've said this before.....I stood next to him on the sidelines and watched him play his Jr. year in the state semi-finals. I knew right then he was something very special. I also knew if Dooley didn't get canned we didn't have a shot.....and I would have turned in my Vol card. |

His 1st HS game I saw was on TV where he went 80 yds off tackle for a TD. Then, Malone took the KO back for a TD and I thought, "Now, we have a chance." |

A healthy Hurd will smash the all-time rushing record. I would put Hurd in the top 3 RBs to ever play for UT. I know that some will say it is Chuck Webb. He was unbelievably talented, but Jamal Lewis was a huge and fast freakish freight train. Lewis is the best RB that i have ever seen at UT. His records would have never been broken had he played 4 years and Fulmer had not sat him for 4 games his freshman season. |

Jamal himself stated when Jalen committed that " in 5 yrs, he will be the prototype of a rb " |

Jamal is the closest thing we have had to Hershel or Bo. Nothing against Hurd because he's a beast, but he's not Jamal. |

Without Jamal getting hurt.....his yardage might never be broken at UT. |

Future Tennessee high school Hall of Fame coach James Counce said he was the baddest man his teams had ever faced on the gridiron. I think Counce's Henry County team won the state title that year. |

I think that's probably correct. If he'd had 3 full, healthy 12 game seasons of 250 carries (including bowl stats), he'd have been over 4k. Jamal was a freak very close to the level of Bo Jackson/Hershel (but not quite there). Whenever people want to argue about who our best back of all time was, I laugh inside when they try to say someone else. The argument is about number 2. |
