Kyler Murray made it quite clear earlier in the week that he is not the biggest fan of Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger, and Ehlinger seemingly took the high road when asked about his Oklahoma counterpart.
While speaking with the media on Monday, Murray was asked about the reported dustup he had with Ehlinger while shaking hands after the Longhorns beat the Sooners 48-45 on Oct. 6. He was also asked if he respects the Texas QB’s game, and he responded with a chuckle and said he has “no comment on that.”

Ehlinger clearly had his rebuttal ready to go when he met with the media on Tuesday.

With the two Big 12 powerhouses set to meet for the conference championship on Saturday, it doesn’t get much better than a petty war of words between quarterbacks. Oklahoma will be looking to avenge its only loss of the season with a potential berth in the CFB Playoff on the line, but Texas may have a secret weapon this time around.
