After finishing the non-conference portion of their schedule 13-0, the Sooners struggled mightily against Alabama in their SEC opener.

The Alabama Crimson Tide play at a blazing-fast pace (second in possession length) and don't give a damn about playing defense. They're 334th in the country in opponent turnover rate and 272nd in scoring defense (77.2 ppg), and they won't do anything to change that approach since most teams can't keep up with their high-powered offense.
