  10/24/19 - QB Jalen HurtsSr/2020, Oklahoma

  The pass-happy Big 12 isn't what it used to be. The dual-threat quarterback is taking over. No longer is 400-plus yards through the air the norm in a league where most of the starting quarterbacks are mobile and adding another element to an offense. "It's always more difficult on defensive coaches if you have a guy who can run with the football," TCU coach Gary Patterson said. Six Big 12 quarterbacks have thrown for more than 200 yards and rushed for at least 50 in a game this season.

Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts leads the nation with six such games. Joining him are Sam Ehlinger of Texas and Oklahoma State's Spencer Sanders with three apiece, Baylor's Charlie Brewer and Iowa State's Brock Purdy with two each and Carter Stanley of Kansas has one. Kansas State's Skylar Thompson ran 61 yards on a fourth-quarter play last Saturday to set up his 3-yard touchdown run that gave the Wildcats a 24-17 win over TCU. "It's tough to play defense right now," West Virginia coach Neal Brown said. "Those are really good quarterbacks that are playing at a high level and they all have the ability to run." Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said mobile quarterbacks are prevalent in high school football, so finding one who can run and throw "is probably is a lot easier today than it's ever been. "Almost everybody in the Big 12 has got a quarterback that's got the ability to do both -- and to do both well," he said. - AP College Football
