No. 9 seed Alabama continued to storm back against No. 8 seed Oklahoma on Friday night in the first round of the College Football Playoff, as Tide quarterback Ty Simpson found receiver Lotzeir Brooks on a 30-yard touchdown connection to make it 24-17.
The score came at the end of a 3-play, 60-yard drive helped by a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty by Oklahoma at the end of an Alabama punt return. Given the shorter field, running back Daniel Hill started the possession with a 30-yard rumble to the Oklahoma 30, and Simpson followed an incompletion with a dime to the twisting Brooks in the end zone.
The connection made Simpson 12-of-22 for 145 yards midway early the third quarter and gave Alabama 24 unanswered points against Oklahoma. The Sooners leapt out to a 17-0 lead early in the third quarter, only to fumble away a punt attempt and uncork a Pick-6 to Alabama to tie it at 17 at halftime.
Alabama (10-3) was making its record 9th College Football Playoff appearance, and its first as a No. 9 seed. Oklahoma (10-2) was hosting a first-round game for the first time, and was in its 5th CFP appearance.
