Purdy faced off with Jalen Hurts once before, when Iowa State played Hurts's Oklahoma team in 2019. What might that game tell us about Sunday's?
Iowa State also had some players, though the program’s only Heisman finalist was Troy Davis in 1996 and its only first-round pick was George Amundson in 1973. Purdy was a celebrity in Ames by 2019, though not quite a legend.
