Jalen Hurts, meet Sam Ehlinger: With transfer QB in the mix, it's brawn vs. brawn when Texas and Oklahoma meet again

As if Texas and Oklahoma didn't have enough to make a match, what with a couple of smart young head coaches heading into their third season and not a little history besides, now they have kindred quarterbacks, too.

Jalen Hurts, meet Sam Ehlinger.

Brawn vs. brawn.

Both quarterbacks are cut from the same cloth: Powerful players who'd just as soon run over a defender as pass over him.

Consider the numbers: In two seasons as a starter at Alabama, Hurts rushed for 1,809 yards and 21 touchdowns while passing for 4,861 and 40 touchdowns.

Ehlinger?
