Will Texas' Sam Ehlinger or Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts be the superior Big 12 QB in 2019?

Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league in a live chat Wednesday. Below are highlights, edited for clarity. Check out the full chat here.

Who do you expect to have a better season in the Big 12, Sam Ehlinger or Jalen Hurts?

Carlton: Great question. Let's see. Sam Ehlinger joined the 25 passing TDs/15 rushing TDs club last season, which is pretty rarefied air for a quarterback. And recent precedent says Jalen Hurts should thrive in Lincoln Riley's offense like Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray before him.
