The Oklahoma quarterback was among those celebrating the Crimson Tide’s 35-13 victory over Tennessee with the traditional victory cigar. Alabama linebacker Terrell Lewis provided evidence of Hurts’ celebration on Twitter.

Hurts has had plenty to celebrate this season, including in the Sooners’ Saturday win over West Virginia: He completed 16 of 17 passes for 316 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 75 yards and two more touchdowns.
That said, there’s nothing quite like smoking a victory cigar — even if you’re enjoying it from a distance. That’s why Hurts will always remain a fan favorite in Tuscaloosa, even if he’s wearing a different brand of crimson.
