Oklahoma stunned No. 4 Alabama for a second consecutive year, forcing three turnovers. The Sooners 23-21 win ended the Crimson Tide’s 17-game home winning streak.
Fourth-ranked Alabama didn’t outright label the showdown against No. 11 Oklahoma a revenge game, but the Crimson Tide once again ended up in the loss column Saturday.
After defeating Alabama 24-3 in Norman last year, the Sooners traveled to Tuscaloosa this weekend looking to bolster their College Football Playoff chances. Oklahoma ultimately did just that, pulling off a 23-21 upset of Alabama.
Even a raucous Bryant-Denny Stadium crowd failed to derail Oklahoma’s defense from its playmaking trend. The Sooners’ defenders produced 17 points off three turnovers en route to the victory.
