Has a freshman QB ever led an undefeated regular season team?

[seaborneq]

If Hurts had these kind of results playing for virtually any other team, he'd be all you hear about in college sports media. But he plays for bama so it looks like business as usual.

Why is that? Bama has had 2 heisman winners the last 6 years, Julio Jones, defensive players galore drafted, yet the kid who drives the bus gets no love.

Colt McCoy was most impressive freshman QB I can recall considering he came from Tuscola, Texas with a population of maybe 500 people. He played Class 2A football which is the level of a 1,000 population.

Herschel Walker was the most dominant freshman. Georgia went undefeated with him running over everyone in sight. He was a monster but actually not a very big guy.

Seaborn come on now? Same with Lamar once he started talking. It's a good thing he hasn't been in the spotlight or else Bama may have had some trouble taking everyone's money this year. He is doing a great job there and I'm happy for Bama supporters but what is that? You guys love ripping Cam for some stupid postgame outfits but he doesn't have a fraggle rock going on.

Holieway is the only true freshman to win a national championship and none have gone undefeated while playing in every game. A couple that went undefeated after taking over during their freshman years were Holieway and Dan Marino.

Well ask yourself this: would Jalen have done all the things you cited if he played for any team other than bama?

[Ra77er]

Well I guess that is a little harsh the guy still looks better than I but you know what I mean the media is not picking him up and he is overshadowed by Alabama. I don't think people know who AJ is without the girlfriend. Bama has never had a premium at that position but you gotta give Hurts credit, dude did still help them run the table.

He probably would not be undefeated or playing for a championship if he played for any other team. Georgia has a freshman quarterback too but they lost five games.

No worries. Washington shall take care of it.

No they won't, Bama will physically manhandle them. The only team with a chance to beat Alabama is Ohio State because they are the only Playoff team that has both a mobile QB and a physical defense. Clemson has the QB but their defense is shit.

Everyone with a pulse is just hoping it's not over at halftime. Washington was manhandled by USC. I don't have to tell you what happened to USC when they had optimism, fresh bodies, a new coach, and tradition galore ran up against Hurts and the bama defense do I. Worse loss in school history. Just a thought

Holieway didn't start that 85 season though. He took over about 4 games in or so when miami broke Aikman's leg

Never forget Jamelle on the sideline with a thousand dollar mink coat and $1k worth of jewelry on the sidelines. kids used to boldly flaunt the money they were paid back then.

Around mid-season? Not sure which game exactly, just know that Pitt won out that year after he took over.
