Turnovers Doom Alabama in 23-21 Loss to Oklahoma

Coaches pivot to ball security in practice ahead of Eastern Illinois.

Overview

  • Oklahoma turned a pick-six, a sack-fumble and a muffed punt into 17 points in Tuscaloosa.
  • Ty Simpson went 28-of-42 for 326 yards with one touchdown, but his two turnovers proved costly.
  • Alabama outgained the Sooners with 406 yards and held roughly a 10-minute possession edge, yet turnovers swung the result.
  • Ryan Grubb said eliminating giveaways is the top practice focus this week, with adjustments intended to clean up protection and decisions.
  • A defense that entered with the SEC's best plus-10 turnover margin produced no takeaways, underscoring the reset before Nov. 22 vs. Eastern Illinois.
