Just keep looking for things to criticize. My assumption is he wants the #2 QB to get in some work. I think the purpose of the O is to score. My question is why did he obviously take his foot off the gas in the 3rd qtr. We became very vanilla.
Jalen is one of my all time favorite Bama players. My comment is not directed at him but the whole Heisman process which is a joke.Maybe...he's not a bad dude so I won't be mad. I just won't like the stupid people saying it's cause of the OK coach. Jalen was good even before getting there. So this is all because he's a great athlete.
My question is, if he obviously took his foot off the gas, why not get the #2 QB in earlier to get some work? Why risk injury to your next big transfer QB?Just keep looking for things to criticize.

Here here Owen. We are a competitive group as Tide Fans just like you are for OU. The media distorts to create controversy for ratings. I personally will always pull for Jalen and I think most Tide Fans do as well. There is only one trophy that I care to hoist and that's the one to commemorate the winning the championship as the best team in college football in 2019. As one fan to another, I am very happy Jalen is at OU and frankly I hope you guys win your league under his leadership. I'd rather you play Clempson in the semis but if and when we meet in the playoffs we will be gunning to take OU down no matter who is QB. Great story that Jalen Hurts. Proud to have had him here and now that he is in Norman I find myself watching more of your games. I just think that is what football is all about...individuals and their stories.I follow OU religiously and I have never heard him say what is being stated that he said. I have heard him say he relished the chance to prove himself....paraphrasing here. He has never to my knowledge said anything negative about his time at Alabama. From a coaching standpoint all we are seeing is Riley scheming to take advantage of his talents. I would hate for you guys to get down on him. He is a credit to your program.
Yep, I don’t think Jalen has any ill-will towards Alabama but the media wants Jalen to have beef with Alabama.I’m happy for Jalen, I really am. He helped win a lot of games for us. what I don’t like is the media-driven narrative being created. In their minds, the heisman is already Jalen’s to lose—just three games into the season. Add that to national Bama fatigue, and we all know where this is headed.
There are a lot of us on the same page with you Wishbone. Fan bases are large and diverse (thank God) but the majority of us have the same view.I like Jalen a lot. I like what I see about Tua both on the field and off. I want them both to succeed. They are both great players. All Jalen can do is play the teams that show up to play the Sooners. I dont understand why you guys have to put down Lincoln Riley or Jalen for that matter.No one around here has put Tua down to make Jalen look better. The media is doing what they do, if there is no story, make one up.
It's something. I wanted Tua to win it last year, felt he deserved it, and still do. So there's a bit of a sore spot over this with some of us, and always will be. Part of coping with that is putting it down, I guess, and there are a lot of problems with how it's all handled with the media. But it's the most prestigious individual award in CFB, and will be until they stop playing the game.A lot of you said the Heisman isnt that important, I'm like you, a national championship is a lot better. One thing about the Heisman, the best high school QBs in the country are giving OU a look where they weren't a couple of years ago. The Heisman may not be the best reward at the end of a season, but it's not nothing.
Good Luck the rest of the way.
I consider it fairly important, but it becomes a joke when it turns into the "whoever is starting QB at Oklahoma award".A lot of you said the Heisman isnt that important
Feeling entitled today?Really, a whole thread about Jalen against this joke of a team and I had to go to ESPN for Jalen's stats?
Just assume ridiculous video game numbers.Really, a whole thread about Jalen against this joke of a team and I had to go to ESPN for Jalen's stats?
Very reason I said in my previous comment that “assuming the quote is accurate AND in context”.Given my skepticism of the media getting anything right in the first place, I'm gonna concur with you until further developments validate such a comment.
My question is who is the “they” that quoted Hurts as saying this? I was flipping among other games as I thought this would be OU boat racing UCLA. I can’t seem to find a quote anywhere along this line.I think Jalen has a genuine understanding of why things played out and an true appreciation of Saban and his time under him. He understands the respect and affection Saban holds for him.
I doubt he's talking shots at Saban now, and if he does slip up and show a little "maybe I could have gotten the job done at Bama" attitude, well, that's human nature. He is a competitor who believes in himself, so I'm going to cut him a mulligan if he says something wrong.
