The real story is when the Alabama defensive line decided to play ball no 335 bs just 4 and 5 big boys plugging away wearing that O line down
Nice game, Tide. Indiana is a different animal though. They are number one with good reason.
Not sure about the pass blocking aspect, but Daniel Hill at least runs hard.
Never underestimate the tide. The are resilient when they need to be.
Too many mistakes by OU. Bama rolls on without the mistakes.
Alabama is exactly that team that will win a game just when you think they don't deserve to be there. I honestly thought Oklahoma would have the better receivers, but the Bama WRs showed out!
Kirk and Chris look like they're at their grandma's funeral.
Oklahoma was cocky and full of themselves… until they got punched in the mouth!
Oklahoma never passes up an opportunity to choke.
That is why they call them Chokelahoma, they will never let you down.
This Proves when your back is agains a wall-
You can ALWAYS Pull it out it you remain FOCUSED ON YOUR GOAL-A Bad coach and a comedy of player errors handed this game over to Alabama . Just a poorly played playoff game by any standards .
The commenters were so Ou it was sickening. Please try to be professional
Congrats to Alabama from an OU Fan.
Didn't think they had it in them
Everyone had us dead and buried. But like the Undertaker we rose one more time.
Do you remember Bobby Bouché' telling the Fonz- You got your manhood! at the end of The Waterboy? That is what I saw when we were down 17-0 and the OK player got in Ty's face and started talking trash. We went on a 27-0 run. The rest is history. This ain't just a sayin'- You don't poke the Bear (sound fitting?) They have two weeks to turn back into the team that played The Devil went down to GA, earlier this year. RTR!
Alabama took Oklahoma to the woodshed. Oklahoma Sucks.
I bet Kirk Herbcrap hated it.
Fowler hates Alabama so much.
Okie who? ROLL TIDE ROLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always wait for the final play.
The playoff is a joke. It's obviously not the 12 best teams. ESPN is ruining the sport by promoting teams over which it has media rights. Notre dame is easily in the top 8, yet left out because espn campaigned for Oklahoma, alabama etc and cut a deal with th ACC to flip ND and Miami on a weekend that neither played. The sport is also corrupted by conference officiating that ushered in NO upsets that knocked any conference out of playoff position.
More like. Don king promoted fight or pro wrestling now. College Fraudball, brought to you by espn.
Kirk has become mouthpiece in chief for this fraud because for some reason espn apparently thinks people still believe the guy.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Hookem! Yes, I'm petty. 😁
These fools are incapable of impartiality as they basically wore OKLAHOMA CHEERLEADING UNIFORMS.
I had to mute the sound 3 minutes into the game for the rest of the game because of their BIAS & OU CHEERLEADING.
Don’t count this team out! Indiana needs to be a little nervous about playing a team like this.
If Bama can generate at least 100 – 150 yards running the ball they won't beat Indiana. Or any of the other final eight teams. Even JMU had some good runs against Oregon last night.
Poor ole Kirk it hurts him to have to talk good about the tide
Not the first time BV was out coached. Had no answer for getting his team focused for second half.
kirk is a joke who needs to go. He makes $20 million for his biased Ohio State opinions. Can him!
Chris Fowler is a big ten fan boy. Hates bama and is a biased yankee bish. Probably voted for cumala and listens to tredau pod casts. Don’t know if him or Gary Daniel’s was worse. Great job espn
Two assholes.
OK was playing on adrenalin. Once that was gone, they had no backup and lost confidence watching Alabama score at will & shut down the OK offence.
Great game !
The time to work on a ground game is over. Now it's time to win by any means you can. Throw the ball, fake the kicks, pull out the kitchen sink. Whatever it takes to win. The offense did ok in this game, but the victory still goes to the defense.
Never count out Bama.
This is what a good matchup looks like, definitely the most exciting and dynamic game of the playoffs so far!!
Atlanta. lol. More and more it's becoming clear, however you want to judge it…. that was a team that knew nothing they did that day would matter and they played like it.
