Oklahoma Shocks #7 Alabama with a 24-3 Upset Victory
Oklahoma pulled off a stunning upset last night, toppling the 7th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide with a decisive 24-3 win. The Sooners dominated on both sides of the ball, holding Alabama scoreless for the final three quarters and capitalizing on the Tide’s uncharacteristically sloppy performance. Alabama struggled offensively, with quarterback Jalen Milroe throwing three interceptions—one of which was returned for a touchdown. This marks Alabama’s third loss of the season, a rarity for the program, which last endured a three-loss season in 2010.
On the other hand, Oklahoma’s ground game was unstoppable, with Jackson Arnold and Xavier Robinson both rushing for over 100 yards. The win not only boosts Oklahoma to 6-5 on the season but also solidifies their bowl game eligibility in their inaugural SEC campaign.
What’s Next for the Sooners?
The Sooners head to Death Valley to face LSU in their season finale. Building on this momentum, Oklahoma has a chance to finish strong and establish a winning formula for the postseason. A victory against LSU could set the tone for a successful bowl game appearance.
Alabama’s Path Forward
Alabama’s playoff hopes took a major hit with this loss, though not all hope is lost. With marquee wins over Georgia and Tennessee earlier in the season, the Crimson Tide could still vie for a spot in the College Football Playoff if they close out with a victory against Auburn. However, their chances have significantly diminished, with the ESPN Playoff Predictor likely dropping their odds well below the pregame 37% projection.
