Alabama football staged a miraculous come-from-behind win over Oklahoma on Friday night in the opening round of the College Football Playoff.

Trailing 17-0 and left for dead, the Crimson Tide scored 27 unanswered points en route to a 34-24 win to advance to the Rose Bowl quarterfinal in Pasadena against Indiana.

It was a perfect microcosm of the Alabama season: often doubted, but, to steal Oklahoma's mantra, this team has been hard to kill.
