Orange Bowl: Alabama vs Oklahoma

[Pariah]

Lincoln needs to take his third quarter playbook and burn it.

I expect Tua to have a huge game,Especially with Murray coming on late to steal the Heisman from him. I also hope we feed Josh Jacobs.

This isnt a typical Bama defense, we are good but not as good as we usually are so Murray will put up points. Our LBs suck in coverage and make a lot of Mental errors so yalls TE should eat.

In the End OUs defense is just too bad IMO.......

Bama 59
OU 45

Yeah but... and what about.... oh for fucks sake your probably right

There's so many fun aspects of this game, Alabama is going to win it but Oklahoma should at least make it interesting

Boomer has our number for some damn reason, so I'm nervous about the match up. I hope Tua gets out of the shop and is 100%

They really don't.

The all time record vs Oklahoma is 1-3-1. However, what that number doesn't say is that until 2003 we were 1-0-1 against them. 2 of their wins came when Alabama was in the dark ages and Oklahoma was top10, and we STILL played them really tough.

Unranked Alabama lost to #2 Oklahoma 37-27, but that was due to Oklahoma coming back at the end, it was a close game. Oklahoma finished the season #8.

Then in 2003 Alabama plays #1 Oklahoma and Oklahoma holds Alabama off at the end for a 20-13 win. That team finished #3 after losing to Nick Saban coached LSU in the NCG 21-14.

They won in 2013 while being big time underdogs in a game that Alabama just mailed the fuck in. I think Saban's comments after the game were 90% directed towards AJ, but that's just my feeling. As much as Knight was lighting up the defense, some of that was due to AJ throwing interceptions, taking sack fumbles etc. The other part was Knight was just playing out of his mind.

We shut them down pretty good in the 3rd quarter, but then our offense just bailed and/or Oklahoma's offense stepped up. However you want to slice it. The last 7 points of that game was scored by the Oklahoma defense on a scoop and score after AJ was sacked.

All said, Alabama turned the ball over 5 times. 2 of them were interceptions that setup Oklahoma TD's and then the fumble mentioned above for the scoop and score. One they scored from like midfield, the other Oklahoma started in the redzone.

Can't do that shit and win games. Funny enough, when Manziel won his heisman for his performance/win, what went un-noticed is AJ threw 2 int's in that game including the final drive at the goal line. And those were his only 2 interceptions of the season, and only threw 1 more in the SECCG against Georgia.

So I'm personally more worried that Oklahoma's defense steps up. I don't see any Strikers on their line, but if Oklahoma wins I expect it to be because of their defense, not their offense.

 

[Scapegoat]

I'm torn here. On one hand I don't want Bama to win another natty, but on the other hand, it would make UGA look a lot better and Oklahoma fans are obnoxious enough with nothing to obnoxious about...

I would really like to see OU win this but I'm sure not putting any money on it.

It might be a OU crowd


A lot of OU fans go, because it most likely is the last time to see this team play



A lot of Bama fans stay home and save their money to go to San Fransisco

Tua gonna have bulletin board material when Murray wins that heisman. Bama by 18.

You shut your whore mouth...
Of course, you could be right...

Does Bama have any players on their team that we might have heard of?

Our kickers are famous.

 

[Proud_Okie]

I honestly have no idea what to think. On paper, Bama should roll. But you just never know,.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I would really like to see OU win this but I'm sure not putting any money on it.

Unless it's like a long shot preseason bet on the Braves to win the World Series, I don't bet on teams I have a rooting interest in.

Nope, just a bunch of randos and should be treated as such.
