Hurts, Oklahoma Await College Football Playoff Selection Show After Winning Big 12 Title

Jalen Hurts entered the 2019-20 season as the most accomplished graduate transfer quarterback since graduates were allowed to change schools without sitting out.

So on Saturday in the Big 12 championship, it was fitting that Hurts, the school's third transfer QB in as many seasons, did everything he could to help OU put itself squarely in the playoff conversation yet again.

Saturday was far from the most glamorous game that Hurts has quarterbacked at Oklahoma.
