As a Tide fan, I cringe to say the truth: OK’s win was beautifully executed. Gotta congratulate you guys, and especially your coaches. Well done!

Send the Iron Bowl trophy to Norman. 2024 Alabama State Champions!

Oklahoma was down 6 WR, including all starters, down 4 of 5 starting OL, and forced to play 3 freshmen. They also were without their top CB and Nickel safety. It was shocking.

[Postman]

OU has lost 5 games because the entire offense has been hurt all year, not because they are a bad team.

[alltheway]

Talking about Oklahoma like they not a damn blue blood of college football, and missing 16 starters

[donnysmith]

How about the fact that finally OU is coming together even though all the injuries?? Everyone is just saying Alabama was awful, how about the fact that OU is finally better than everyone thought....

[Postman]

The Vandy and Tennessee loss was by a TD or less. Alabama got straight up dominated by OU, not even comparable.

[drewdelk]

The fact that NINE of OU’s top WR’s and other starters have been hurt pretty much all season and still managed to handle Bama the way they did shows that OU isn’t an “inferior” team. If OU has a healthy squad all season they’re a 1-2 loss team without a doubt. Last night wasn’t a fluke, OU is just finally straightening things out with a very limited roster. Which says a lot given the shutout.

Worst physical ass whoopin' I've seen a Bama team take in many, many years. Everything's on the line so there are no excuses. They were outplayed in every phase of the game from beginning to end.

[mitchconner]

Jackson has a ton of heart. He'll stay in Norman.

[aguthrie]

OU is Bama’s daddy and has been throughout history 💪

[patronasjohn]

Last comment, hell of a game by OU. They should be a force for years to come in the SEC.

[Dr.J.Fever.]

What Jackson Arnold needed all along was a solid OC who can develop a QB, a healthy OL, someone to throw it to, and a run game! I HOPE he stays! BOOMER!

[delraycollins]

Hey, you know what? Next year? Oklahomathey will be back and this time they're going to be really good. I'm not one of those Oklahoma fans that talk s*** on this team all year long because they weren't doing so good. It only took time to finally get this team going the right way and guess what? This team is going to be loaded next year with so much talent.And as long as injuries don't happen like it did.This team will be in the playoffs, mark my words

[christophersnowden]

At least now we can stop pretending a 2 loss Alabama team was sneaky good

[jeremiahphillips]

Absolute giant slayers!!💪🏾 BOOMER MF SOONER

[jacobbrewington]

According to the “blue-chip ratio”, Oklahoma has the 6th best roster in football. The talent gap between Bama and Oklahoma isn’t as far as you make it out to be.

[RossCrain]

I think the big point you’re missing with your prediction of OU schedule prior to the season is it didn’t take into context OU losing 5 to 6 starting wide receivers, their number one running back, and three of their starting offensive line. The fact that they’ve maintained what you thought they would do with this depleted lineup shows that in my opinion, you under sold their capability had, if they been healthy.

[ricksaunders]

J.D has hated on Oklahoma all year.
OU has some what a excuse for their record.
Hurt players However the #2 guy should be just as good
J.D look at the record
OU owns Alabama

[Lexlugr]

Not saying you're wrong but OU plays Bama close, even when they had Saban. They outright leads the record, so anyone that thought this was a guaranteed blowout for them was delusional. It looks like the coaches drank the Kool aid and thought they could just roll in and win
