NORMAN, Oklahoma -- Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer lamented his team's "uncharacteristic" mistakes in the aftermath of a 24-3 loss at Oklahoma on Saturday night, a defeat that dealt a significant blow to the Crimson Tide's College Football Playoff hopes.

Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe threw three interceptions and the Crimson Tide (8-3, 4-3 SEC) never shook off a slow start on the road against a Sooners defense that held Alabama to a season-low 70 rushing yards. Relying on the legs of quarterback Jackson Arnold and freshman rusher Xavier Robinson, Oklahoma (6-5, 2-5) gashed Alabama for 257 rushing yards on its way to sealing bowl eligibility for the 26th consecutive season.
