Everyone remembers what happened the last time these two coaches squared off. And, even though they are now in separate conference, there is no denying that all eyes will be on this one. The winner will earn some huge momentum and would have cleared a huge hurdle in establishing themselves as an early favorite to win the national title, but the loser will only have had his feelings hurt, as there is still plenty of time for a 1-loss team to make some noise this season.
Alabama fans will be welcoming recent PH.D. graduate, Dr. Forrest Gump back to campus, honoring him as Tide Legend of the Game. Gump and Coach StuBucksman, who have struck up a strong bromance over the past few weeks, and before the game, will sing their Karaoke hit that has taken Tuscaloosa by storm, "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.
This game is difficult to predict, and many Alabama fans have expressed some concern with their team's defense after giving up 31 points at Oregon in week 1, while Oklahoma scored a decisive 42-7 victory against North Carolina. Still, with all that talent on both sides of the ball, we're not betting against Alabama in this one. The Crimson Tide's running game will prove to be too much for the Sooners, and the two-headed monster of Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson, we predict, will amass upwards of 200 rushing yards combined to lead the Tide to victory.
The Sooners will put up a fight, and keep it close throughout, but will fall to Alabama 27-21.
