OU football: Jalen Hurts jumps spot in Heisman Trophy odds

Jalen Hurts has been the best dual-threat player in college football through three weeks.

The Oklahoma quarterback ranks 14th nationally with 293 passing yards per game and eighth nationally with 124 rushing yards per game. He leads college football in passing yards per attempt (14.4) and quarterback rating. He's averaging 9.8 yards per carry.

Those numbers have led to a surge in Hurts potentially becoming the third consecutive Heisman Trophy winner from OU.

Following his four-touchdown performance Saturday against UCLA, Hurts' Heisman odds improved from 7/2 last week to 3/1 Monday morning, according to BetOnline.
