Both Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray had question marks before flourishing under Lincoln Riley. Why not Jalen Hurts?

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.
