Any chance that he would learn were lost when he signed with Coach Saban...
I think Maria Taylor had something to do with that [emoji16]

Yeah I got a kick out of her grabbing him and pulling him back for an interview and a nice hug later.
Dang, I stopped watching the game last night and left Baylor a message here to leave no doubt. I guess the only doubt remaining is how they blew that game. Ouch! Apparently, Jalen played a heck of a second half.
I watched that game on mute. It was a great comeback. Happy for Jalen, but not OU. If not for Jalen, OU would have 3 losses probably. I still don't want Bama to play OU, especially since Tua is out. If LSU beats UGA to get them out of the playoffs, wouldn't UGA get the Sugar Bowl spot? (If we don't beat Auburn?)
If we don’t beat Auburn, yes that’s likely. In fact, in that case we probably drop to the Citrus Bowl.
If we do beat Auburn but miss the playoff, we are in the Sugar Bowl. Georgia, at 11-2, is likely in another NY6 bowl or the Citrus Bowl themselves.

Jalen had 3 TOs; 2 in the first half that dug the whole. OU ran 31 plays in the 3rd quarter and Baylor O was tight in the second half. I think they only ran 4 plays in Q3 and couldn't find their rhythm. Jalen was a stud running in the 2nd half. They knew he was going to run it but they couldn't stop it. Probably because they were so tired.
OU wore Baylor down with those 3 long drives in the 2nd half and Hurts is the perfect QB in such a scenario. He threw to 10 different receivers. It actually might have been a good thing CeeDee was out because Hurts had become too dependent on him. Lots of freshmen making plays. Hurts is a warrior. He trysts to do too much at times and he is not the passer Murray or Mayfield were but his grit, determination, and leadership are invaluable. We are not a playoff team in my opinion but I like our chances to win the Big 12.
This is something we are very well acquainted with. It was a pretty constant criticism of him when he was here, that and its twin of taking off too quickly. He's made a lot of progress in that respect...
This was an interesting/revealing thread (this was my first chance to review it).
Everything I've read aside, Jalen shook off an ugly first half and brought the Sooners back from the precipice of certain defeat. OU's second-half defense was also stellar, but that performance, no matter how impressive, won't make me forget the nightmares that were KSU/ISU, nor the first half of the Baylor game. For this reason, I (like owenfieldreams) am not sure my Sooners deserve to be in the playoffs, even if they finish with just the one loss.
For what it's worth, I hate Tua's injury not only for Tua's sake, but also for what it could potentially mean for Bama's playoff chances.
