Obviously, as an OU fan — I’d like Jalen Hurts to come to OU to play his senior season. I think it would be a seamless fit for Jalen and the program as they have true freshman Spencer Rattler coming in, but not ready yet from a maturity standpoint to be the OU quarterback this season.
If Jalen comes to OU then I’d say OU would have the best QB in the conference by just a slight nod over Sam Ehlinger at Texas. Not much difference, but I’d give the edge to Jalen for what he’s done in the spotlight, plus he’s more evasive as a runner than Ehlinger. Throwing wise, they’re probably close. Intangible wise…they’re both excellent. You’d want both of these guys to be the face of your program.
Most think it’s a fifty-fifty chance between OU and Miami. I have no idea. It’s a wonderful story. He stayed the course at Alabama after being benched, earned his degree, and then made every play possible to save Alabama’s season against Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.
A storybook season, minus one chapter.
You fill in the chapter and tell me where the best chance of that happening is….. U of M or Oklahoma?
If Jimmy Johnson were at Miami, I’d say Miami. But Manny Diaz is there as a first year head coach while the best offensive coach in all of football is in Norman, Oklahoma.
It should be an interesting week for Jalen Hurts.
