How did Alabama fail against Oklahoma?

 How did Alabama fail against Oklahoma?

What was supposed to have been a easy game for the alabama crimson tide became a nightmare  for the tide but how did they get to this point? well lets get in to it!

Oklahoma Defense 

 The sooners came in to the game doing their homework limiting jalen mileroe but altogether styming that alabama run game to give you perspective Alabama ran for 219 yards against lsu (mileroe miller and haynes combined) and with the sooners coming in to this game after a emotional year of losses and with it being senior day the sooners played with pride in their hearts

Alabamas ups and downs

this game was a case study on the up and down year the tide has had the tide came in to this game needing to make a statement win (at the time of this writing alabama is projected to make the 12 team playoff)

but lets raise the question what if Alabama sneaks' in? what do the need to change to win a national title?

• a focused running game 
• return to the alabama of old and run the ball through the tackles most teams expect the tide to throw on first and second down distribute the ball to miller and haynes let them get the yards that are needed then take the defense off with a deep shot  
• mileroe must use his legs and arms but he must get the ball to his playmakers

Playoff hopes 

Alabama has chaos on their side given that several top 20 teams went down winding the playoff race (see our college football roundup)  the tide has a shot a faint shot but a shot nontheless to rewrite history and make this a year worth remembering
