Alabama Vows to Address Oklahoma’s ‘Disrespect’ when They Meet in the CFP’s Opening Round
Alabama views Oklahoma's postgame photo on its logo as disrespect and promises to address it during their Dec. 19 College Football Playoff opener, officials said.
- On Dec. 19 Alabama Crimson Tide faces Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff opening round, a rematch after Sooners crossed Alabama's roped-off logo in November.
- After the November game, several Oklahoma players hopped over a thin rope to take photos on the roped-off midfield Script A at Bryant-Denny Stadium, prompting Alabama staffer Tara Fuhrman to shoo them off amid a contentious scene including one player spitting on the logo.
- Several Sooners who posed on the logo were defensive backs, led by Robert Spears-Jennings with five tackles, while Alabama's turnovers included a crucial interception return.
- Ryan Williams told reporters `We understand the disrespect` ahead of the rematch, and Alabama players say they'll respond by taking the ball away to advance to the Rose Bowl quarterfinal versus No. 1 Indiana.
- Now meeting a third time in just over a year, Alabama's playoff bubble status adds urgency as players see the rematch as a chance to advance toward the Rose Bowl.
