Oklahoma Sooners Upset Alabama Crimson Tide 24-3

In a thrilling matchup at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the Oklahoma Sooners upset the No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide with a 10-7 halftime lead. Despite a series of injuries leaving them without key players, including Jovantae Barnes and Deion Burks, Oklahoma's freshman running back Xavier Robinson made a significant impact, scoring an 18-yard touchdown just before halftime. The Sooners dominated the first half with 242 total yards, compared to Alabama's 97, largely due to a strong rushing game that accumulated 205 yards. Alabama struggled offensively, with quarterback Jalen Milroe completing only 2 of 7 passes, and the Crimson Tide's only points came from a 22-yard field goal following an Oklahoma turnover. As the game progressed, the Sooners' defense continued to stifle Alabama, forcing them into difficult situations. The win not only showcased Oklahoma's resilience but also secured bowl eligibility for the team.
