I think it was Mateer failing to run for the easy 1st down on the drive following Bama's first score.



Totally agree, if he runs for that first it's a different game, and OK probably wins it. Hard to explain to some people who don't watch much football, but football is a funny game and games can absolutely turn on things like that.

Look the fact is Alabama has better talent and far better depth than OU right now. Simpson's a 1st round QB. Bama's WR's are better than OU's, and they are pretty good on defense. OU got outclassed and outcoached. Looking back on it: even if that sequence didn't happen, Bama would still have likely won this game. OU had nothing to counter Bama's adjustments.

And there is something to say about a team who lost to OU twice in a row, and coming off a SECCG loss.. they were hungry and focused. OU was coming in rather confident and got humbled.

A multitude of sins, but dropping the snap on the punt was the biggest killer IMO.
