An Oklahoma quarterback has found himself back where an Oklahoma quarterback typically is during the month of December.
Sooners’ signal-caller Jalen Hurts is having a historic year in his lone season in Norman, Oklahoma, and that has resulted in him being up for at least two national awards that have been won by Oklahoma quarterbacks the last two years. The Alabama graduate transfer is a finalist for the Davey O’Brien Award for the most outstanding quarterback in college football and the Maxwell Award for the best player in college football, it was announced Monday.
