No. 7 Alabama’s hopes of an SEC title are over and a College Football Playoff appearance looks highly, highly unlikely after a 24-3 loss at Oklahoma.
The Crimson Tide were 14-point favorites but Oklahoma took control of the game with a pair of third-quarter interceptions and its pass rush collapsed the pocket on QB Jalen Milroe all night.
The Sooners scored late in the second quarter to take a 10-3 lead into halftime. On Alabama’s third play of the second half, freshman cornerback Eli Bowen got his first career interception when he jumped a short screen to fellow freshman Ryan Williams and returned the ball to the Alabama 14-yard line.
