Since I became an Alabama fan in 1998 when I started my PhD program in Tuscaloosa, if I remember correctly, I think the Crimson Tide has played Oklahoma four times. And I'm pretty sure Alabama has gone 0-4 in those four games.
Not last night.
It didn't look good early. For Mrs. Nasty and me, it didn't sound good because we listened to most of the first half on the radio while driving back from an away high school basketball game.
And then the game changed with the TD on fourth down to Brooks.
27 unanswered points.
At least from what I heard on the radio, Mateer and the Oklahoma receivers were carving up the Alabama defense because they were playing zone. At least that was the assessment from Tyler Watts on the radio.
When I got to actually watch the game late in the second quarter and on, it looked like the Tide had turned to basically a man approach in the passing game. And it worked.
The defense finally found its footing in the game after giving up 17 points.
From the looks of it, Miller is still nursing an injury because we saw a lot of Daniel Hill at running back. Hopefully Miller gets healthy soon.
And I hope we get Overton back on the Dline against Indiana.
