OU has one of the best offensive lines in college football. Perhaps they should see if they can run the ball. I am interested to see how Nick Saban attacks the putrid OU defense. I wonder if he will go back to ole Saban 'Bama and pound the ball. OU's defense needs to cause some turnovers.

Alabama has the better team but the best team does not always win. It is as simple as that.

Upsets are the reason football is interesting.

Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban announced Monday that Deonte Brown, Elliott Baker and Kedrick James are suspended for the Orange Bowl against the Oklahoma Sooners for violating team rules.

OU will score points via their prolific offense. But ‘Bama will score about twice as many against OU’s terrible defense.

OU lost their top 3 running backs in the first half of the season. The running game will be secondary. The primary job for the OLine will be keeping Murray healthy. Murray has been a very pleasant surprise. Despite his fleetness, his arm and instincts are first rate. The last game, he was throwing a little behind his receivers. Hollywood will need to get healthy too.

I don’t see a lot of hope, but we’ve embarrassed Alabama before.

Of course OU can beat Bama. They are led by the best player in college football. We will see who wants it more on Saturday.

Do adults actually follow this stuff?

Instead, watch that popular game show on TV called, “Get A Life”. LOL

Other than the class of 2018, Alabama has had the #1 recruiting class for the past 4 years. They have more talent than any other team and as good as they are, they should be better.

They've played 2 top 10 teams this year, LSU and GA. LSU has a mediocre offense and GA arguably could've beaten AL. I'll go with OU in this one...

“Does Oklahoma stand a chance against Alabama?”

I didn’t realize they were at war.

I hope that OU beats Alabama. Not that I hate Alabama or love OU but that domination ruins sports, i.e., the Yankees of the 50s and 60s ruined baseball. The Patriots are ruining pro football, etc. I feel that Alabama is ruining college football IF it continues to dominate.

The closest the score will be will be right after the kickoff. OU will not be able to stop Alabama.
