The Alabama Crimson Tide needs a statement win to prove it belongs in the small group of 'cut above' teams
What the Alabama Crimson Tide needs against the Oklahoma Sooners and what it must have are different. The contest is not a must-win game for Alabama. It is for OU, making the task more difficult for the Crimson Tide.
What the Crimson Tide most needs against the Sooners is more than a win. Kalen DeBoer's team needs a statement win.
