Tide QB Jalen Hurts wears Auburn's colors to honor Iron Bowl bet with Charles Barkley

Alabama posted video of quarterback Jalen Hurts wearing an Auburn jersey Thursday.

Not to worry, the quarterback is not transferring or being pushed aside by championship game hero Tua Tagovailoa.

Hurts was paying off a bet with Charles Barkley, passionate Auburn alum and professional talker.

On Nov. 14, before the Iron Bowl game between the bitter in-state rivals, Barkley said he had a bet with Hurts over the game.

"Jalen Hurts challenged me to a bet, and I ain't forgot it, Jalen," Barkley said. "I'm either going to wear an Alabama jersey on TV or he's going to have to wear (an Auburn jersey) on campus.
