Alabama went into Norman Oklahoma and took down the Sooners in a complete reverse of the previous game these two teams played.
This time around it was Mateer who threw the pick six, and Oklahoma make critical errors in the kicking game missing field goals and getting a punt blocked.
The Crimson tide overcame a 17-0 deficit with the momentum turning when freshman sensation wide reciever Lotzeir Brooks broke 3 tackles for the first of his two TDs.
Oklahoma couldn't survive the self inflicted wounds, and Alabama got stronger as the game went on.
This was a great season for the Sooners and the future looks good for Venables moving forward.
Alabama silenced the naysayers who thought they didn't deserve a spot in the playoffs. They will have another opportunity to prove they belong when they face the #1 ranked Hoosiers in the Rose Bowl.
