Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts Says 2019 Iron Bowl Score 'Sounds Like Rat Poison'

Jalen Hurts used a Nick Saban-ism to describe his former team's Iron Bowl loss Saturday.

"That sounds like rat poison to me," the Oklahoma Sooners quarterback said when asked about the No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide's 48-45 loss to the No. 15 Auburn Tigers, according to Tulsa World's Eric Bailey. "We have to focus on Baylor tonight."

Hurts' jab harkens back to what Saban told reporters in October 2017: "I'm trying to get our players to listen to me instead of listening to you guys. All that stuff you write about how good we are, all that stuff they hear on ESPN, it's like poison.
