Driving home from the game last night and listening to the after game radio show on ESPN and Oklahoma fans kept calling in and saying Alabama fans are salty, but hang on a second I think we need to point a couple things out here.

First, wire to wire Oklahoma didn't lead for one second of the game. Second, the closest the score ever was was 11 points. Third, Alabama took a mercy knee inside the 10-yard line to end the game when they could have easily scored. And all this happened even though we made mistakes on both sides of the ball all game.

Next let's talk about Lincoln Riley for a second - what kind of coach shows absolutely no respect for the offense of the number one team in the nation by going for it on virtually every 4th down? And someone might have pointed this out already but I'm going to say it right here:Lincoln Riley has had back-to-back Heisman Trophy winners at what's arguably the most important position on the field for the offense and he has exited the playoff in the first round two years in a row.

Oklahoma needs to take stock because all I heard last night on the way home from Miami was Oklahoma fans calling in trying to stake a claim for a moral victory because they didn't expect they would be able to match up with bama anyway. If that's your stance on your team why do you even want them in the playoffs at all?

Salty,no. Facts,yes.

I was impressed with Kyler though. He was better than I gave him credit for.

I took his 4th downs as a show of respect as in I know we’re not stopping these suckers so I have to go for it. He knew his only chance to win is get as many snaps for Murray as possible and let him win it.

Bama took foot off gas it was clear as day. Any time OU got remotely close they unleashed Tua and scored quickly without an issue. OU had no chance.

You made some good points, but this isn't one of them. Going for it on 4th down so often was because he DID respect Alabama's offense, and he knew his defense couldn't stop them. It was the best way to keep Alabama's offense off the field, and he had a large deficit to make up. Going for it deep in his own territory took balls.

Exactly this. Those 4th down conversions were their only chance.
