Why Texas' QB confidence in Sam Ehilinger is likely higher than Oklahoma's in Jalen Hurts heading into 2019

Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the league in a live chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights.

Which school do you think has the higher confidence meter in their QB heading into 2019 -- UT w/ Ehlinger or OU w/ Hurts?

Carlton: Give the slight edge to Sam Ehlinger at Texas, which isn't a knock on Jalen Hurts at all. The difference is that Ehlinger has a season and a half as the starter at Texas and his teammates and coaches know exactly what they're getting in Ehlinger.
