'It was almost like you had to score every single time you had the ball.' Brock Purdy and Jalen Hurts recall the last time they went to head-to-head.
Sunday, January 29, 2023 6:20PMThe sun was barely up when Philadelphia Eagles fans started packing the parking lots for the NFC Championship game.Jalen Hurts and Brock Purdy could be primed for a shootout in the NFC championship game.
But the two young quarterbacks have gone head-to-head before, in a game that was among the best in the 2019 college football season. Hurts passed for three touchdowns and ran for two more scores for Oklahoma, and Purdy passed for five touchdowns for Iowa State. Hurts' No. 9 Sooners came out on top, 42-41, on Nov. 9, 2019 in Norman, Oklahoma.His stint with the Cyclones had a story that has pretty much been replicated in San Francisco.
Eagles defensive end Matt Leo, on the team's practice squad, played for three seasons with Purdy at Iowa State. Fast forward to 2022, when Purdy was the last player drafted, yet made the 49ers' roster as the third-string QB and improbably took over after Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo both got hurt. Purdy is now the third rookie quarterback ever to win two NFL playoff starts, the fifth to reach the conference title game as a starter and will look to be the first to reach the Super Bowl.
