Big 12 football mailbag: Jalen Hurts, biggest question facing Texas, expectations for Matt Wells and more!

Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league in a mailbag this week. Check out some of his answers below.

What do you think Jalen Hurts' ceiling is as Oklahoma's starter? Do you think Spencer Rattler gets any playing time in 2019?

Jalen Hurts' ceiling? Given what Baker Mayfield and then Kyler Murray accomplished under Lincoln Riley, it's pretty darn high. Hurts is a talented, experienced quarterback and he's a much improved passer from when he started at Alabama. Plus, he doesn't lack confidence, even with the change of schools and offensive systems.
