A conversation has sparked on social media about who Jalen Hurts belongs to between Alabama and Oklahoma.
As a University of Alabama alum, he became the first former Crimson Tide quarterback to lead an NFL team to a playoff victory for the first time in 40 years. Hurts guided the Philadelphia Eagles to a 38-7 victory over the New York Giants. He played for Alabama and Oklahoma in college, and both fan bases are arguing about which one has more of a right to claim him.
