Missed tackles, dropped passes, fumbled punts and an epic collapse decided the College Football Playoff Game between Alabama and Oklahoma. The Sooners led 17-0 with 3:57 to play in the second quarter, outgaining the 10-3 Tide 181-12 before imploding completely, outscored at home the rest of the way 34-7 to suffer elimination from the playoffs.
Bama will face Indiana in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. The game was so sloppy and inept that it naturally led some to ask, is this the SEC everybody's bragging about? Neither team could run the football. OU quarterback John Mateer tossed a pass directly to Alabama cornerback Zabien Brown for a 50-yard Pick Six 50 seconds before half.
