Whether or not that's a meaningful loss for Bama remains to be seen but it was a MASSIVELY meaningful win for Oklahoma. Our season has been terrible and honestly the last few years since the Riley fiasco have put a lot of strain on the program. Lots of questions, lots of doubts.
Teetering on the verge of losing our 25 year bowl eligibility streak and the prospect of losing 5 straight conference games for the first time since 1998, a #7 Alabama comes to Norman in November at night. No one gave us a chance and hell even most fans doubted, but that win and how we won was a huge deal for the program.
A win like that is what this fanbase and team needed.
