Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer knew exactly how the Sooners were able to upset Alabama, and it might have included some divine intervention, which OU fans label Sooner Magic.
With their College Football Playoff dreams at stake, the No. 11 Sooners went into Tuscaloosa on Saturday and beat the No. 4 Crimson Tide 23-21 behind a stellar defensive performance while Mateer and his offense did just enough on the other side of the ball to secure the victory. The win improved the Sooners to 8-2 while halting Alabama's 17-game winning streak at Bryant-Denny Stadium, which was the longest active home winning streak in the country.
