OT: Alabama Struggling in the Sugar Bowl

***Updated***

31-17 Sooners at the Half, and McCarron has already been picked off twice along with a Crimson Tide Fumble.

Bama Field Goal attempt with 4-seconds remaining is no-good

yeah but I have a bad feeling the team that dominates a majority of the game will lose...but that's just my experience

Onward and upward

This just goes to show recruiting don't mean every thing. Bama has more talent than OU but this game isn't over just yet.. I'd be surprised if Bama didn't make a run in the second half to make this a closer game.

nothing makes me happier than seeing bama fans when their losing

Onward and upward

Gotta wonder if Bama's guys came into this one thinking they had it in the bag. I know they want redemption for that Auburn fiasco but they really just don't seem to be as into this game as they normally would be.

Bama's ridiculous depth will show itself in the second half. Like it always does.

Leg for you

Looks like you're right. Looks almost like a video game the way they're running the ball now.

Not at Corner Back apparently!

What if Alabama beat Oklahoma off a Statue of Liberty play?

I rewatched this game yesterday. One of the best games I've ever seen.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

Insert Lane Kiffin joke.

That Bama Locker Room must've been something else. They came out swinging.

Bama needs to keep feeding Henry. He is a workhorse.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

Watching McCarron's lack of mobility makes me wonder how long he'd survive behind our o-line

If Sean Glennon wasn't jacked, I'm not sure he would've survived, either

Makes me think Andrew Ford won't start next year. We don't want to kill him off his freshman year

Bob Stoops just wants Saban to know what it felt like for him after the '04 Sugar Bowl

Oklahoma making plays.

Agreed with above, the look on the Bammers faces when they are losing is so entertaining.

At least they're still showing Katherine Webb

They had this heartfelt story about young AJ McCarron and a jet ski accident. They come back to the game and pan to his family. The announcers were kind enough to say "There is his mom there". You could almost see them biting their lip and remembering Mushberger gushing over his girl last year. They probably had notes hung up in the booth reminding themselves to not mention her under any circumstances.

Looks like Katherine Webb can finally pull for Auburn.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

AJ McCarron isn't participating in the Senior Bowl. That is looking more and more like a mistake.

The way Bama can run the ball, we need to do that.

That was a pass technically

This kid Henry is making everyone forget about TJ Yeldon. This freshman is going beast mode.

The Dude Abides

That's what happens when you have NFL talent along the line and in the backfield.

But this was a great run:

I'm just lip reading here, but here's what he said:

"You just shot the tide. AGH"

When all else fails, yell at the refs for not handing you the game. That was a clear as day PI call and all he wanted to do was whine about it for the next 4 plays.

SCOOP N SCORE!!!

That feeling that Oklahoma fans have right now. I really want that feeling someday.

Leg for you

This times 1000.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

That was what i was thinking from the beginning of the game.

The sad thing is, I don't know if ive ever felt so happy for a team than last night, and it wasn't even a tech game

Chick Patty w/ Cheese

So when do Alabama fans start calling for the fire of Nick Saban? :P

BOOMER SOONER!

That's what she gets for being an Auburn grad and rooting so shamelessly for Alabama.

Live for 32. Ut Prosim. Let's Go, Hokies.

she is now back on the market

also, the crazy partying at the end of that gif is priceless

Leg for you

My favorite part of this? Mark May predicted a 42(something in the 40s)-10 score in favor of Alabama. Eat a D Mark May.

I love the "SEC! SEC!" chants from the Sooner fans. God, I love college football

It was a catch

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Adding insult to injury.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

Did Jim Mora call that? (I thought it was an accident, but I don't know)

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

It's hard to say. But the camera from behind the kicker (looked to be along the back of the end zone) seems to show the kicker intentionally angling the ball towards the guy it bounced off of.

Live for 32. Ut Prosim. Let's Go, Hokies.

That game made me so happy. Its been glorious to see bama lose two in a row in the fashion they have. I wish I could see how their entitled fan base is reacting right now

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

That was a brilliant special teams play by Oklahoma. Nothing like kicking it directly into somebody.

The Finebaum show will be real funny the next few days.

Stop hitting yourself

Best GIF ever.

ESPN just said Virginia put 38 points on Bama in the 98 Music City Bowl...

Fuck You ESPN!

What's worse is they just did it again in their next broadcast. I saw it both times and there was significant time for them to correct their mistake, and they still threw UVA up there...

Just looked that game up, did you know Holly Rowe was part of the ESPN crew?

I don't really consider myself a great evaluator of football talent, and I don't watch much tape, but every once in a while I end up in the high school football highlights section of youtube, and twice I have seen highlight tapes where I was completely blown away by how much better a player was than everyone else on the field. The first was Tavon Austin, the second was Derrick Henry (I think Henry's high school tape was posted on this site last off season). He's ridiculous.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

He's ridiculous.

Most accurate talent evaluation statement on the internet of this recruiting cycle.
