Efficiency was behind Jalen Hurts’ strong performance in Alabama’s home opener

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.– Alabama head coach Nick Saban may not let his players read the media clippings or hear the critiques made about them via the press, but quarterback Jalen Hurts has known all offseason on the one thing he had to improve upon in order to be a complete player.

His response after a sub 100-yard passing game versus Florida State was totaling nearly 300 yards offensively on Saturday in the Crimson Tide’s home opener against Fresno State.

In the aerial attack, Hurts did a much better job of working through progressions and looking off defensive backs.
