Defensive Player to Watch: Zach Petersen

This Saturday, Iowa State travels to Norman to take on one of the best and most elusive quarterbacks in the country.

Jalen Hurts, the former Alabama quarterback has been one of the best quarterbacks in the country this season, throwing for 2,469 yards this season at a clip of 73.9% with 21 touchdowns to just three interceptions.

Over the air, Hurts has been terrific. The bad part is that he’s been even better with his legs. He’s run for 801 yards while averaging 7.8 yards per carry, and added 13 touchdowns on the ground to his total.
