Here are five takeaways from the Oklahoma Sooners win over Alabama. Coming out of the bye week on the heels of the letdown against the Missouri Tigers, the Oklahoma Sooners absolutely dominated the Alabama Crimson Tide. OU overcame a first quarter that saw drives end in a fumble and a missed field goal and trailed 3-0.

But OU defied the odds as it earned a 24-3 home win over Alabama. Running back Xavier Robinson led the charge with 18 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns, while linebacker Kip Lewis returned an interception 49 yards for a touchdown.
