I still say that the defensive woes Bama experienced in this game had a lot to do with Oklahoma coming out in this game and running an offense for which our defense wasn't really prepared. During the season, the Sooners, I believe, were more of a run oriented offense with Blake Bell and Knight splitting time. I don't know how much they let Knight loose to throw like he did in the Sugar Bowl, but that wasn't their identity during the season. I think that CKS and CNS had prepared for something totally different than what we saw Oklahoma do offensively. Our D seemed to get better in the 2nd half, but turnovers combined with inconsistent offensive play from Bama and flawless execution on Oklahoma's part spelled doom for the good guys. We've seen this before (Stephen Garcia in 2010 anyone?)....
