Jalen Hurts made his Oklahoma Sooners debut on Sunday during the team’s season-opening game against Houston, and he was impossible to miss.

Hurts had a bright red look on his feet due to the color of tape he used around his ankles and cleats.

Pretty much everyone else for Oklahoma was wearing white cleats or white with some red on them, so Hurts stood out on the field. The shade of red for the tape he used was also much different from the Sooners’ shade of red, causing some annoyance for fans with sports uniform OCD.

Hurts, the senior graduate transfer from Alabama, led Oklahoma to a touchdown on their opening drive. He completed two passes on the opening drive, including the TD pass to Jeremiah Hall. He showcased his legs on his second drive, rushing four times on the possession, which ended with a missed field goal attempt.
