During the postgame interview Hurts gave an emotional response when asked how he felt after the loss.
“It’s supposed to hurt. This is not a good feeling. This is a feeling I’ve never felt before. It hurts me in my heart. When I decided to come to this school, I told coach Riley ‘I’m going to win you a national championship.’ … It hurts me the most because usually when you come up short in something you can come back and fix it. I can’t come back and fix it. I’ll never play college football again.”
