Rat poison. That’s why I started thinking about this story. Rat poison. It’s a long story, but it’s worth passing on. I like to watch college football. I grew up about an hour away from Norman, Oklahoma, so naturally I follow the Oklahoma Sooners. One of the biggest stories of this season involves their graduate transfer quarterback, Jalen Hurts. The story actually begins at the University of Alabama during the 2017 season. Jalen was the starting quarterback for the Crimson Tide, and in that role he led them to the national championship game. In that game his team was facing the Georgia Bulldogs, who had beaten my Sooners in the semifinals in a high-scoring shootout at the Rose Bowl. To the surprise of many, Alabama was trailing at the half. And to the surprise of even more, Nick Saban replaced Jalen Hurts for the second half with a freshman quarterback. I’ll let Will Whitmore from Athletes in Action tell the next part of the story. As the second half began it was not Hurts under center for Alabama, but Tagovailoa who took the field. Images of Hurts standing on the sideline watching were shown throughout the remainder of the game. While Hurts would not influence the outcome of the contest on the field, his actions on the sideline would demonstrate something much more profound, and in the end more important, than the ability to put together a game winning touchdown drive. From the sideline, the star quarterback would show us what made him truly special, at least on this night when the lights shined brightest on Alabama football. Whether intentionally or not, Hurts illustrated Paul’s admonition to at all times and under any circumstances choose the path of Christ in our relationships with others. “When Paul writes to the believers in Philippi, he encourages the Philippians in their faith and challenges them to center their lives on Jesus. Paul says that the Philippians should mirror Jesus, and have the same mind as the Messiah. One way to do this is through humility. He writes, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others” As the camera panned to Jalen Hurts at the beginning of the second half many waited to see how the quarterback would react to being benched. Would he pout on national television? Isolate himself from his teammates on the sideline? Yell at his coaches or ignore Tagovailoa’s existence? How would he respond? Hurts did none of this, rather he stood confidently on the sidelines watching every play, encouraging Tagovailoa during every TV commercial and timeout, and celebrating with his teammates as they won another national title. When interviewed by ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi postgame, Hurts shared his excitement at winning a national championship and praised the true freshman who replaced him. continued ...
