Oklahoma’s comeback left even the College GameDay crew in shock of what they just saw.
“Jalen Hurts is the baddest man … he ran the ball 27 times tonight and on 24 of those carries he got annihilated by a safety or a linebacker.” said ESPN GameDay personality and analyst Kirk Herbstreit on a postgame Instagram Live. “What he did tonight was one of the greatest things he’s done in his entire career.”
Kirk Herbstreit on Chris Fowler’s Instagram Live glowed about Jalen Hurts’ second half performance at Baylor.

The Sooners were a completely different team after halftime, shutting out the Bears in the second half and being led by Hurts, who turned the ball over twice in the first half and once more inside Baylor’s five yard line.
Hurts in the second half was unfazed by his first half performance and even his second half mistakes, as noted by Herbstreit.
After going 8-of-14 for 80 yards, a touchdown and an interception in the opening 30 minutes, Hurts came out firing on all cylinders, closing the game by going 22 of 29 for 217 yards and three touchdowns.
“Anybody that’s ever played the game, or followed the game, it’s impossible not to just be in love with Jalen Hurts and the way he plays and the way he leads,” Herbstreit said. “Just love him.”
