The biggest thing in his development in my opinion was 2018 competing with Tua for the starting job. Looked like a completely different QB against us in the SECCG that year.

I'm sure OU will say it's Lincoln, but Lincoln's QBs have been overvalued in the league so far. Except for JH.

I agree. Jalen took a huge step forward with his downfield passing that year. You could see it even in garbage time during the regular season. I still think Jalen took another big leap forward at Oklahoma though.

This is the absolute truth. When Jalen replaced Tua in the SEC Championship game he looked like a totally different QB. I give Sarkisian most of the credit, plus Jalen's drive to get better, as well as his work ethic. It's an amazing story.

He improved a lot that year with Dan Enos then more with Riley. He is the hardest worker i ever watched. On the flip side Tua was more talented but had that horrible injury luck and still does.

How about CW? Didn’t he just win a Heisman playing for no one but LiaR? I can’t stand LR, but he knows QBs.
