While Alabama won't be completely full strength for Friday night's College Football Playoff matchup at Oklahoma, it's going to be closer than it has been in well over a month.
Alabama was a beaten-up team when it faced Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. Georgia treated it as such with a 28-7 bludgeoning of the Crimson Tide in Atlanta, which put Alabama's College Football Playoff hopes in doubt.
Alabama snuck into the playoff anyway, and now it could be gearing up for a run with the return of several key players.
Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb indicated in his Tuesday press conference that both Jam Miller and Josh Cuevas will play against Oklahoma.
