Storylines

Two of the most storied programs in college football history are set to face each other in the semifinal of the college football playoff. All eyes will be on the two quarterbacks but the difference in this game will be Oklahoma’s defense. Can the Sooners make enough plays to keep them in the game?

Beyond that health takes center stage as well. Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is working to get back to 100% after ankle surgery and Oklahoma receiver Marquise Brown is working his way back from a foot injury suffered in the Big 12 championship game.

Odds

Alabama (-14)
