A couple of days before tonight’s College Football Playoff Championship Game pitting Alabama against Clemson, Tigers defensive coordinator Brent Venables took a walk down memory lane that was more like Nightmare on Elm Street.
At media day ahead of Monday night’s title showdown, Venables was asked about a game during his career as Oklahoma’s co-defensive coordinator: the Sooners’ 35-7 loss to Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Ouch.
The outcome was shocking. Oklahoma, a 14-point favorite, and took a 7-0 lead. After that it was all Wildcats in a 35-7 triumph.
