ATLANTA — The College Football Playoff semifinal between LSU and Oklahoma will match a transfer quarterback unlike any in history against Joe Burrow. The Sooners’ Jalen Hurts is … not the forgotten man, exactly. He was a Heisman finalist, after all. But he is certainly the Other Guy. He usually is. He left Alabama because he was the Other Guy. He will be the Other Guy against Burrow, and if Oklahoma somehow wins, he will be the Other Guy against Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence or Ohio State’s Justin Fields. It’s all rather incredible, because nobody in college football history has put together a career quite like Jalen Hurts.
