So, I have these predictions I do where I think of what would happen if things go really good for us and what would happen if things don't go so good. These predictions can be serious, or they can be tongue in cheek.
Best Case Scenario for Alabama: We win the toss and choose to go on offense first. We have a fairly time consuming drive and score a touchdown. Oklahoma gets the ball and we stuff them on first down because they do the unexpected and call a straight run play. A tipped pass at the line forces a third and long and we are able to sack Kyler Murray to force a three and out. This sets the tone for the rest of the game. We get a quick touchdown on our second drive. 75 yard catch and run on the slant by Waddle. Kyler tries a long pass on their next drive, but it's intercepted. We get another quick score to extend the lead to 21-0 and it's early in the second. Oklahoma is able to sustain several successful TD drives, but the damage has already been done and we are too far ahead.
Score: Alabama 63 Oklahoma 31
Worst Case Scenario for Alabama: Oklahoma wins the toss. They nickle and dime us to get a few first downs. Kyler breaks a long TD run. The Oklahoma defense is pretty pumped. They are able to sack Tua on first down because he is holding on to the ball too long. We fumble on the second down play and Oklahoma recovers in our territory. Kyler gets a TD pass on the second down play by rolling to his right. There is a bust in coverage, so the guy is wide open. This result of this scenario will play out a lot like the Ole Miss game in 2015, but much more high scoring. We are able to rally a few times, but several big plays by Oklahoma's offense keeps us just behind.
