What you should watch for as Oklahoma welcomes No. 7 Alabama in this new-look SEC football matchup on Saturday, with our updated prediction for the game. Alabam

The Alabama Crimson Tide are just two wins away from clinching a Playoff berth, but a trip to Norman must be taken seriously. Oklahoma has struggled quite a bit their first year in the SEC, but Alabama will be their toughest test yet. If Jalen Milroe has any hopes of winning the Heisman Trophy, he’s going to have play lights out Saturday.

Oklahoma is in the third season under head coach Brent Venables, who holds a combined 21-15 overall record since taking over the Sooners program back in 2022. Oklahoma also has a former Alabama assistant coach on their staff in co-defensive coordinator/cornerbacks coach Jay Valai.
