Teams on pace to combine for about 1,250 yards of offense by my count.
 
And we are going to be close to the O/U by half depending what Bama does here. I'd say most people are pretty surprised by this offensive explosion.
 
Fake EDIT: Orrrrr Okla after that pick. Wow

Uh oh ... The dreaded "Bama didn't want to be there" game.
Yup . But AJ has no choice and he could be costing himself some money here.

And a PF penalty might give Bama great field position Edit: and a complete bogus penalty art that!
 
Horrible call, based on the replay. 
 
These penalties for gestures are pretty fucking stupid anyway. Unless they're flipping someone off, swallow your fucking whistles, assholes.

The presidents of ESPN and the SEC are meeting at half to figure out how to get Bama the ball at half and disqualify half of OU for targeting.

Would AJ Mc Carron be a possible heir to Tom Brady?
Most see him going I the third round?
Pass on McCarron, there are plenty of better options.

How far is Aaron Murray gonna slip with his torn ACL? I'd rather pick him up in the 3rd and let him red-shirt for a two years while learning from Brady.

That's why Derrick Henry was the top RB recruit in the country last year. Yeah, just a freshman. The next great bama RB.
Everyone on D is road kill.

Holy shit, ANOTHER superb throw by Knight, under immense pressure on 3rd & 16.
 
The kid's impressive tonight.

Wow. I've seen a lot of Oklahoma football this year.  Lost a bunch of money on them this year.  Until tonight, I honestly did not believe that Knight should be starting for a D1 college football team.  He's figured something out during the break that could be bottled up and sold for millions of dollars.  Just incredible tonight.  The accuracy, the decision making (although he was lucky to get away with that last one for a td), the pocket mobility..Everything.  Guy looks like a completely different player than I've ever seen him.  I've seen him play where I wondered how the hell he got a scholarship.  I can't get over this.

How long does Katherine stick around after this game? the over/under is the day after the end of the draft.

Prior to this game McCarron indicated he would pass on the Senior Bowl and let his body of work speak for itself.

Does he rethink that?

Personally, I hope he doesn't, and he falls to the Pats in the third or so.

Teams favored by double digits during the bowl season are a combined 2-5 against the spread (assuming Bama doesn't win this one by 18 points).  Baylor and Arizona State have already lost outright so if Oklahoma holds, that would be 3 out of 7 games that a double digit underdog has won.  That shouldn't happen in 20 games, never mind 8.
 
I parlayed Oklahoma with the over tonight, following up a parlay with UCF and the over last night.  I wish every bowl game had a double digit spread. 
 
And there's a td by Henry.  That kid is the real deal.

Bama playbook should be:
 
Handoff to Henry
Dump pass to Henry
Screen to Henry
Profit

Belichick should trade all our picks to get every pick in the 2016 draft to get Henry. I don't care if RBs are underrated/utilized in the NFL. He's a tank and I love him.
 
EDIT: I don't want McCarron anywhere near the Patriots.

I don't want McCarron anywhere near the Patriots' center when the ball is snapped. Ever.
