Alabama-Oklahoma Preview | Key matchups, O/U for Tide turnovers
No. 7-ranked Alabama (8-2, 4-2 SEC) will travel to Norman, Oklahoma to take on the Sooners (5-5, 1-5) on Saturday, Nov. 23. The conference game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
This will be just the seventh all-time meeting between the Crimson Tide and Oklahoma, and the Sooners own the series edge, 3-2-1, including a 2-0 mark in regular-season matchups and a 1-0 record in Norman. However, the last time the teams met at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium was in 2002. The most recent pairing was in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Orange Bowl on Dec. 29, 2018, and Alabama came out on top, 45-34.
