What a game. I mean, round one. Last year was all the favorites and blowout city. Not last night. We saw a dynamic effort in the first quarter by Oklahoma. They build a 17-0 1st quarter lead. They never look back. And then all of a sudden with about 4 minutes left in the second quarter, uh, John Mattier had a huge play to Xavier Robinson, incomplete. The following punt gets blocked. Alabama scores, and then all of a sudden. A pick 6 turns the momentum and Alabama pulls away, wins it in dominating fashion. The over comes in. Oklahoma goes on, uh, goes home, and, and Alabama moves on. And all the questions that for Alabama in the SEC championship game, Donnie, that couldn't be answered were answered last night. Dominant road effort by the Crimson Tide. We're going to get into that game in just a few moments here, but understand the stakes set today. 3 games, Joe. First game's going to kick off today. That's Miami and Texas. AM probably gonna be the game of the day, then followed by back to back games with a group of 5 certainly gets involved in action. But I do want to say this, like the, the people out there, if you were watching that football game last night, and if you thought Matier made the wrong, oh, he should have ran for 6 yards in the 1st down. That's a touchdown. He threw a perfect ball to a running back that was dropped. That could have been a game-changing play. So, Joe, before we get to those games this afternoon and sort of give that preview, I do want to take a look at last night and also the lead up to it, because we had Alabama as a favorite. Roughly since that line opened up late action this week on Oklahoma. I actually thought, Joe, Oklahoma was probably the right move in that game. 17 to 0. How did Alabama get up off the carpet? Well, I mean, obviously defensive stops and momentum shifts. Turnovers always create momentum shifts. We've seen it throughout the college football playoff. Oklahoma was in a similar spot basically in 2016 when they faced off against Georgia and Kirby Smart. Had an 18-point first half lead. Second-half adjustments by, uh, Kirby Smart, Georgia allowed Sony Michel, Nick Chubb to pull away and win that ballgame in double overtime. You have to maintain the momentum and seize the opportunity. And, and let's keep an eye out. The, the two weeks off, really, you know, teams came out rusty. Alabama came out rusty. Oklahoma came out sharp. So that's what we want to see today. But you talk about momentum shifts, uh, second half. Adjustments. I mean, second half, Oklahoma was a dead and buried football team because of the turnovers, because of the lack of explosive plays in the second half. And again, Matier made the right read. Xavier Robinson is a running back. He's not a wide receiver. He drops that ball. Could have been 24 to 7. Could have been lights out. I will say you could have gotten great value at Alabama plus money once that happened, Donnie, and it was astounding trying to watch that game as it played out because Oklahoma looked like they might drop the hammer, Joe, win that game by 4+ touchdowns early in the game. But the one thing that you do understand, you cannot make the easy mistakes to let the other team get back into the game, Joe. Like you, you can't drop a punt when you're punting it. It's a, uh, what's the equivalent? Shaquille O'Neal under the rim missing a layup. Like Joe, how does it happen? Well, we talk about specials. If you watch the first half with Alabama, I mean, talk to you and, and their special teams, their punter were atrocious in the. First half gave field position to Oklahoma and then and then Oklahoma gave it right back to Alabama with a drop punt. That was a huge momentum shift. But if Xavier Robinson does catch that football, Donnie, it could have been at least 20 to 7. You stopped the bleeding at that point, but unfortunately, Oklahoma couldn't do it, and it's a 4-quarter game. So again, we got to monitor momentum shifts today. The underdogs did step up last night. Uh, we saw a lot of, uh, under. Dogs step up in the bowl season so far. So again, when you look at these matchups, Ole Miss, Tulane, James Madison, Oregon, turnovers, teams that seize the opportunity and score points early could put pressure on opposing teams. But again, credit Kaylin Deboer, credit Ty Simpson, and more importantly, credit that Alabama defense for coming up with major stops last. Yeah, like a 3-score lead early in that game. The momentum is getting out of whack and it also makes you. One dimensional because the question point, the question marks that were coming up for Alabama was they can't run the football, Joe. If you'd have just gave me a box score at the end of this game and said Alabama ran for 28 yards in the game, they'd probably get smoked. But understand this, as I just pointed out, drop a football, which leads right to a scoring drive. And how about before the half, Joe? You're trying to get extra points on the board for Oklahoma. You have a miscommunication that leads to the easiest pick 6 you're ever going to find out. And all of a sudden, a 17-0 lead turns into 17-17, and that crowd went silent.
