Hurts' vast initial experience in a coaching program, which included annual trips to college football matches, made him the favorite to be the starter upon his arrival at Norman. He had 23 career touchdowns, a school record for a quarterback from Alabama and was responsible for 71 touchdowns, second best in Tide's history. He has 7,602 offensive yards and 48 touchdowns to his name.
