Playoffs

Dave: Win or lose playoff game — this has been a great season for the Sooners

Once again the Sooner offense did just enough to beat LSU 17-13, and not waste another stellar performance by the defense.

It was looking a little bleak in the fourth quarter with OU down by 3 and only a hand full of minutes left in the game. That’s when Sooner Magic reared its beautiful head, with a little help from a busted coverage by the Tigers.

With the victory comes Oklahoma’s first playoff birth since 2019, and the first home playoff game in Oklahoma history.

Some teams just seem to have another team’s number. While being underdogs the past two years against Alabama, Oklahoma still came away with victories in both games bringing their all time record against the Tide to 5-2-1.

As a matter of fact, the Sooners have been underdogs in at least half of the games that have been played between these blue bloods of college football. In 2024 they were as much as two touchdown underdogs.

Last Saturday, the Sooners collected three turnovers and won the field position battle to walk out of Tuscaloosa with an unconventional victory and the #8 ranking in the College Football Playoff standings.

Alabama fans will tell you they beat themselves with those 3 turnovers. Hey, if that helps them sleep at night.
