Jalen Hurts: Avoiding 'Rat poison,' overlooking South Dakota

You can take the quarterback out of Alabama. You can't take the Alabama out of the quarterback.

Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts recycled a Nick Saban line Tuesday when he was asked about playing FCS South Dakota on Saturday (6:30 p.m., pay-per-view)./

"You treat every game the same," Hurts said. "That's how I talk about rat poison. We will focus on what we need to focus and try to get better each week. Fix our mistakes from last week."

Hurts' comments recalled what Saban said in 2017 after Hurts' Crimson Tide beat Texas A&M 27-19 to improve to 6-0.
