After the game, star receiver A.J. Brown praised Hurts.

"He played incredible," Brown said. "He did amazing. ... He was poised the whole game, he was in control, he made checks and he threw dimes. He just gave us opportunities, and when we were covered a little bit, he took off running -- he used his legs."

Hurts played at Alabama from 2016 until 2018 before transferring to Oklahoma for his final college season.
