Best defensive game OU's had since Brent's been the HC. Happy for Stutsman, he deserved a good win at some point this year.
The defense played really well, but it all started with the o-line play. Even on those early drives that went down the field and resulted in no points, they were controlling the game and keeping the defense off the field. That made a big difference in how the defense was able to play later in the game.

True, an OL was actually on the field tonight. Arnold has some wheels if they can give him a slot. But Stutzman laying the wood to Jalen Milroe on the first snap is what set the tone. It just rolled from there.

The defense absolutely set the tone, but the offense being able to move the ball early kept them off the field so they were able to maintain it for the duration of the game. A lot of that goes back to the o-line getting the job done, both in protecting Arnold and in opening holes for the backs.

In a couple weeks, we're going to learn that the Alabama oline and Oklahoma oline swapped uniforms minutes before the game 😆 🤣 😂

Honestly, how does an oline that bad come in and play like that against Alabama?
I think Senior night had a lot to do with it. The team was ampted up the crowd was ampted up. One of the best crowds I've ever seen in Norman actually they brought it the whole game. Danny Stutsman stone walling Milroe on the first play of the game kind of set the tone.

I don't think this new Alabama coach is half the coach Saban was, they have there own problems now. I bet he won't last long there.
