The Alabama Crimson Tide committed three costly turnovers in a 23-21 upset loss to the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.
Alabama (8-2 overall, 6-1 conference) now finds itself as one of three SEC teams with one loss trying to get to Atlanta for the annual SEC Championship Game. The Georgia Bulldogs (9-1, 7-1) and Ole Miss Rebels (10-1, 6-1) also have one loss, with Alabama holding a head-to-head tie-breaker over the Bulldogs.
Georgia’s SEC schedule is over, while Alabama has one conference game remaining (Nov. 29 at Auburn). The Texas A&M Aggies (10-0, 7-0) stayed perfect atop the SEC standings Saturday after erasing a 30-3 halftime deficit to beat South Carolina, 31-30.
Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson threw for 326 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Oklahoma, but his interception in the red zone led to an 87-yard pick six from Sooners defensive back Eli Bowen, one of the game’s biggest mistakes.
Oklahoma also capitalized on a short field and 20-yard John Mateer touchdown run after Ryan Williams fumbled a punt return deep in his own territory. Conor Talty missed a 36-yard field goal attempt that was partially blocked before halftime as Alabama’s mistakes piled up and proved too costly against an Oklahoma team known for its stingy defense under coach Brent Venables.
