It won't be easy to get over Alabama's 23-21 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday. It removed the last little bit of margin for error for the Crimson Tide and kept it from what would've almost certainly been a playoff-clinching win.
Alabama outgained Oklahoma nearly 2-to-1, the defense didn't allow a single drive longer than 41 yards, and yet the Crimson Tide still found itself on the wrong end of the result. Why?
Turnovers.
Alabama finished the game -3 in turnovers, which directly led to 17 of Oklahoma's 23 points in the game. Take any one of them away, and Alabama wins the game.
