Well, one of the games of the week takes place back in Alabama, coach, uh, Oklahoma fighting for their playoff lives, can't afford to lose this game. They open as 6.5 point road dogs to the Crimson Tide fresh off Alabama's win. Over LSU, we talk about Alabama only losing one time at home and Brian Dedy dating back to 2020. They had a very good defensive effort. How do you feel early on Mattier and the Oklahoma Sooners match up against this Alabama defense? Well, Alabama defense played much better Saturday, and they are getting better and better themselves, you know, this is not just a one dimensional Alabama. This is kind of a one dimensional Oklahoma too. Uh, they don't mix that they don't run the ball very well and I just think Ty Simpson, uh, going against a better defense, I think at Oklahoma Ty Simpson is the difference maker if you're gonna be a little bit of one dimensional, which Alabama is, you better have a. Ty Simpson, who doesn't turn the ball over, uh, he's gonna be out there playing great every week. John Matier isn't quite that good, so, uh, because the defense is playing, uh, rather well in Alabama, uh, I like the one dimensional Alabama, uh, against Oklahoma a little better than the one dimensional Oklahoma, uh, against Alabama and the fact that Oklahoma needs turnovers and I don't think you're gonna get any turnovers in Alabama. Uh, coach, when you see Oklahoma and no one schematically, they shut down Caitlin De Boer's offense with Jalen Milro. Advantage for Brett Venables maybe defensively entering this game. You think, you think that's a matchup to keep an eye out on, even though it is Ty Simpson versus Milro from last year? Yeah, I mean there are differences in the two things. Uh, uh, first of all, Ty Simpson is, uh, to me he's more of an NFL quarterback that's a, that's a pocket thrower that can run smart. I think Milro was a much better runner. Uh, I think Alabama has the big threats that wide out they can beat you deep. I just think it's a little different type of football team in Alabama this year than last. That being said, because Alabama doesn't run very well, it may catch up with him against Oklahoma. It will catch up with them in the postseason. They will not get to the playoffs running like they did last week, what, 56 yards, uh, in last week's game of 59 yards, uh, it'll catch up somewhere. Uh, I just don't think it'll catch up with them against Oklahoma in Tuscaloosa.
