Oklahoma Stuns No. 7 Alabama with 24-3 Win

Oklahoma's decisive 24-3 victory over No. 7 Alabama has significantly dampened the Crimson Tide's chances of securing a spot in the College Football Playoff. Alabama, a 14-point favorite, struggled with turnovers, including three interceptions by quarterback Jalen Milroe, and faced a relentless Oklahoma defense that limited their rushing game. This marks the first time since 2010 that Alabama has lost three regular-season games. Despite injuries, including the absence of Oklahoma's key receiver Deion Burks, the Sooners became bowl eligible with standout performances from players like Xavier Robinson and Jackson Arnold. The win has been a morale booster for Oklahoma and its coach, Brent Venables, who praised his team's resilience throughout a challenging season. The defeat leaves Alabama with slim hopes of a playoff berth, highlighting their need to regroup and address key weaknesses revealed during the game.
