One of the most unique parts of Sunday Night Football is the player introductions. This week, Jalen Hurts likely took the cake for the most creative and talked-about one.
Of course, players usually say their name and the college they went to. However, Hurts instead said, “Roll Sooners.” The phrase paid perfect homage to the University of Alabama and the University of Oklahoma, where he played his collegiate career.
“Roll Sooners” is a classy way to give it back to both.

The phrase is even better considering that unranked Oklahoma just upset Alabama on Sunday, which could have ruined their chances of making the College Football Playoffs.
Jalen Hurts Had His Best Year With Oklahoma
Hurts started all four years in college, with the first three coming at Alabama, and even won a National Championship his second year. However, in his junior season, he was benched during the National Championship for poor performance.
Jalen then transferred to Oklahoma and had his best college year, throwing for 3,851 yards, 32 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.
