OU (playoff) wrap-up: Alabama flips November’s script, and the result came up Roses​

by Jess Nicholas, TideFans.com Editor-In-Chief

For about 24 minutes of game-clock time Friday night in Norman, Okla., it appeared that Alabama was well in danger of repeating its egg-laying performance of Dec. 6 in Atlanta against the Georgia Bulldogs, and the crowing was already coming in loudly on social media from pundits who never wanted Alabama to be making this trip to Norman to begin with.

Then, Alabama scored a touchdown on a gutsy 4th-down playcall, blocked a punt on Oklahoma’s ensuing possession, and polished off the first half with a pick-six from CB Zabien Brown, the second game of the year Brown has turned on its head with an interception just before halftime.

Jam Miller, 7 carries for11 yards. I guess he is still far from healthy?

Insighful write-up, and a joy to read. Thanks Jess.

I’m no QB coach, but I don’t see how Mateer has a future as a QB. When throwing, his loading phase is extended as he takes the ball away on a long, low loop - reminiscent of Tim Tebow - which gives blindside rushers an opportunity to strip it; and I can’t recall a single release from more than about a three-quarters position. Why he doesn’t have more passes blocked and intercepted because of how low they are at the point of release is surprising to me…
