Jalen Hurts to Oklahoma
- Thread starter BamaNation
- Start date
I wish him well. He was a warrior for us when we needed one. I would say "hope we don't have to face you" but at this point we have to focus on just getting to the playoffs, can't worry about anything else.
Re: Hurts to Oklahoma
but he will be in the fall, the post was more about the nonsense of some of your fanbase!

This is kind of the Greg Maddux (or HOF in general) hat question, and it's fairly complicated heh.
Also, didn't the Oklahoma backup transfer, so he's mainly going to be competing with a true freshman? I think Lincoln Riley knew what he was getting in Hurts and I'd add this... if Hurts does get benched after being recruited to transfer there, he could always redshirt...

2019 Schedule is very interesting. Good opportunity for Jalen to win 11 or 12 games.

My favorite teams next year after the Tide of course is Oklahoma and whoever the barn is playing.
Sounds like a great opportunity for a great young man. I wish you all the best in Norman, Jalen. Go show those Sooners how the Bama program works to get to where we are. Just don't show them too much.
Now that we know his pick, it'll be interesting to see his level of success.
Comparing him to the most recent OU QBs:
I don't think he's a better passer than Mayfield, but he's got better wheels.
I think he might be a comparable passer to Murray, equal runner but in different ways.
I think the B-12 schedule will force him to depend more on his arm in shootout type games. I'm hoping what we saw in his improved passing this year will translate into more success at OU, but the difference may be in his ability to break the pocket and run against inferior defenses.

He has some good games passing against weaker defenses in the past, he really struggled most with elite defenses. Although he threw the ball well this year in almost every game, including Georgia, in 2017 he had some fairly good games throwing the ball as well. I think in Oklahoma's system, and against Big 12 defenses, he shouldn't have any trouble putting up good numbers. I've watched some former SEC guys do well over there, and sometimes they're not being asked to do that much.
Unless he shows regression he should have a good year.
Well that's on the coach.
And I would add, if the coach lied to either or both, then who ever doesn't play has every right to be upset and take a redshirt while they consider their options.

Congrats to Jalen! I hope he does well over there and I will be cheering for him!

Re: Hurts to Oklahoma
The only reason he picked OU is because they wear Crimson and Cream (white).
I'm not going to pretend to root for OU. I neither like or dislike OU, there are simply another school, but I will root for Jalen to personally do well.

I don't know he has to have a "Heisman moment" or it don't count

Re: Hurts to Oklahoma
IDK, without Jalen, Tua may play most of the games and rack up much better stats than this past season. Time will tell.
