Recap
Alabama stormed back from a 17-0 deficit to defeat Oklahoma 34-24 in Norman, sparked by Zabien Brown's electrifying 50-yard pick-six just before halftime that tied the game. Quarterback Ty Simpson led the Crimson Tide's comeback with two touchdown passes to Lotzeir Brooks, while Daniel Hill's fourth-quarter rushing score sealed the victory. Despite John Mateer's two touchdown passes for the Sooners, costly turnovers and Alabama's second-half surge proved too much to overcome.
