• Alabama's Deontae Lawson is helped off the field after a tackle and heads into the injury tent. Oklahoma faces second-and-10 from the Crimson Tide 26-yard line.

• Jackson Arnold's got Oklahoma on the move with a big pass on third down to Brenen Thompson. Thompson takes the Sooners to the edge of the Alabama red zone.

• Alabama's Jalen Milroe runs a daw on third and long but is tackled at the line of scrimmage. James Burnip is onto punt and sends one to the other end of the field. Oklahoma will start drive threee at its own 38-yard line.

• END OF 1
  Alabama: 7
  Oklahoma: 0
  
  The Crimson Tide opens the second quarter with third-and-11 from their own 19.

• Alabama got LUCKY on third and long. Oklahoma calls a screen-double pass and it is WIDE open, but the Sooners Bauer Sharp dropped the ball in the endzone. To make matters worse Zach Schmidt misses a 39-yard field goal. Oklahoma went from almost tying the game to ending the drive with no points.

• DeVonta Smith lays the wood to Jackson Arnold but not before the Sooners quarterback could scramble for a first down.

• Oklahoma legendary coach Bob Stoops was just shown on the jumbo tron to hype up the crowd. His title was listed as "Program Guy".

• Alabama opts to kick a 20-yard field goal. Graham Nicholson makes the kick to give the Crimson Tide a 3-0 lead. Alabama 3, Oklahoma 0. 3:23 left in the first quarter.

• Alabama's red zone offense stalls after three lackluster runs. Kalen DeBoer opts to go for it on 4th down from the 3-yard line. Before the Crimson Tide could snap it DeBoer ran down the sideline to call a timeout.

• Williams stepped out of bounds at the 11-yard line, the Crimson Tide will have it first-and-10 in the shadow of Oklahoma's goal line.

• Wild pass from Jalen Milroe to Ryan Williams for a 41-yard touchdown pass. Williams made several men miss after the catch but may have stepped out of bounds. Play is under review.

• Jalen Milroe's made some impressive moves in the run game, but unfortunately was corralled and tackled for a big loss, brining up a second third-and-long on the drive from the Oklahoma side of midfield.

• Alabama avoids a horrific offensive sequence with a big pass to Germie Bernard over the middle on third down. Alabama is out to the 47 and has a fresh set of downs. Before the pass the Tide was looking at a quick three-and-out after the turnover.

• Alabama's Deontae Lawson recovers a fumble just outside the Oklahoma Red zone. Bray Hubbard crushed the Oklahoma running back at the line of scrimmage and sent the ball flying. Alabama takes over again on their own 21-yard line.

• Xavier Robinson ripps off a huge gain right at Jah-Marien Latham to move Oklahoma right outside the red zone as the Sooners are threatening for the first time.

• LT Overton is back on the field for Alabama's next defensive possession. Jah-Marien Latham is in the game as well playing Wolf.

• Both offenses struggle on their opening possessions. Alabama got a little going on the ground but Williams couldn't hold onto Milroe's pass.

• Jackson Arnold misses his first pass attempt and Alabma's defense gets off the field. Arnold tried a few QB runs but wasn't able to move the football. Alabama's offense takes over for its first drive at their own 25-yard.

• Alabama's LT Overton is down after the game's third play. He limps off the field under his own power. He's replaced by Jordan Renaud, which indicates Jah-Marien Latham appears to be moving to wolf.

• No changes to Alabama's starting defense tonight. Qua Russaw starts at Wolf, while LT Overton starts at Bandit.

• Alabama won the coin toss and has differed to the second half. The Crimson Tide will kickoff to open the game.
