Alabama's Jalen Hurts is what's best about football

Jalen Hurts did something on Saturday that no one was expecting. He played in a football game.

Yes, Hurts is a college football player, and that's what football players do, but if you've been paying attention to the quarterback saga at Alabama, then you know it's not that simple. Will he transfer? Will he win the quarterback battle with fellow Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa? Finally, will he redshirt?

That question took on a life of its own earlier this week when the opinion of a radio host was reported as fact on social media and then widely aggregated by various national websites.
