The first time 'Bama has given up thirty in a half in about a decade to be exact. I can promise you one thing, if the Sooners keep scoring and win this Bob Stoops is going to be absolutely insufferable. Before the season he questioned the SEC defense narrative, now he's tearing Alabama apart.

To be honest, this isn't surprising to me.  Most of the players on this team were looking for a National Championship, and nothing less.  To play in anything else is a disappointment, and some of them don't know anything other than The Big One.  Given the disappointment, especially the deflating nature of that one loss (which also knocked them out of the SEC championship) can't be discounted.

Also, they were knocked out of contention for the SEC championship due to that one loss, so this team hasn't actually played in awhile.

So, all of that added to a 'Bama team that has looked a bit vulnerable of late, and I can't say I'm shocked to see them down big.

While a coach is a big part of the game, these are still college students who I think are more affected than we'd like to think.  Good touchdown there to bring it to one score; however, regardless of the reason for the performance, those linemen need to block for AJ before he becomes a permanent part of the field.

EDIT: And what I said about blocking...7th sack of the night turns into a defensive TD to end it.  Incredible.

That will be the new way to do onside kicks in the future...
