Sunday's NFC Championship Game won't be the first time that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy square off.
Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts during an NCAA college football game between Iowa State and Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., Saturday, Nov. 9, 2019. Sunday’s NFC Championship Game won’t be the first time that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy square off.
At that point, Purdy was the No. 3 quarterback on Iowa State’s depth chart. A few weeks later, though, injuries spurred Purdy — then just a true freshman — into action. He led ISU to a wild 48-42 win over Oklahoma State and never relinquished his starting role. Sound familiar? Purdy had thrown two touchdown passes of his own, but Oklahoma held a 35-14 halftime lead and the game looked destined to turn into a rout.OU’s lead was 42-21 entering the fourth quarter, setting the stage for an incredible comeback — one that would come up just short.
Iowa State still had two timeouts remaining, so Hurts and the Oklahoma offense needed to pick up a few first downs to finally put the game to rest. With the score now 42-41, Campbell and the Iowa State coaching staff had a decision to make. And they decided to go for the win. The ISU offense stayed on the field, but a comeback for the ages could not be completed.
