Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered mailbag questions about the league this week. Here are some of the highlights:
Q: There are high expectations, and then there's what Jalen Hurts has to live up to at Oklahoma, following up back-to-back Heisman winners and No. 1 overall draft picks. Does he face an impossible task?
Carlton: Daunting? Certainly. Impossible? No, not by a long shot. Hey, Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray were transfer quarterbacks who came into Lincoln Riley's system with some question marks and vastly exceeded expectations.
