Jalen Hurts, Brock Purdy dueled in wild Big 12 game in 2019
Jalen Hurts and Brock Purdy meet again.
This time it will be on January 29, when the San Francisco 49ers meet the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game at the Linc.
The quarterbacks will be hard-pressed to repeat their 2019 contest when Oklahoma and Iowa State dueled in a Big 12 contest.
The game wasn’t settled until a late two-point conversion pass by Purdy was intercepted by Parnell Motley with 24 seconds left.
Final score: Oklahoma 42, Iowa State 41.

Hurts, in his only year with Oklahoma after transferring from Alabama, threw for 273 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also ran for 68 yards and a pair of scores.
The Sooners led 42-21 in the fourth quarter before Purdy threw 3 TD passes.
Cyclones coach Matt Campbell opted to try for the 2-point conversion and win in Norman, but the pass was picked.
