Alabama vs. Oklahoma: Box score, stats, game summary and more ft. Jackson Arnold

Alabama's hopes to hang on to a spot in the College Football Playoff field took a substantial hit, while Oklahoma's season has new life after Oklahoma defeated the No. 7 Tide.

Oklahoma scored just before halftime to take the lead and then held on for a 24-3 win.

No. 7 Alabama (8-3, 4-3 in the SEC) had won its last three games easily since a loss to Tennessee. Recent losses in the SEC seemed to have the Tide well-position for the CFP, but that situation is suddenly shakier. On the other hand, Oklahoma (6-5, 2-5) not only picked up a surprising win, but qualified for bowl eligibility.

While Alabama scored first, Oklahoma's defense harassed Jalen Milroe all evening. The Alabama passer struggled throughout and Oklahoma opened wide rushing margin throughout the game. Oklahoma QB Jackson Arnold and RB Xavier Robinson each topped 100 yards rushing.

Robinson scored just before the half and again early in the second half to take control of the game. Oklahoma's defense delivered a pick-six score by Kip Lewis to salt the game away late in the third quarter.

• Alabama: 22-yard field goal by Grant Nicholson, 3-0, 3:23 remaining in 1st quarter
• Oklahoma: 29-yard field goal by Zach Schmit, 3-3, 8:14 remaining in 2nd quarter
• Oklahoma: 18-yard TD run by Xavier Robinson (Schmit XPT), 10-3, 0:37 remaining in 2nd quarter
• Oklahoma: 1-yard TD run by Xavier Robinson (Schmit XPT), 17-3, 11:37 remaining in 3rd quarter
• Oklahoma: 49-yard interception return TD by Kip Lewis (Schmit XPT), 24-3, 8:05 remaining in 3rd quarter

Alabama will now face Auburn next as the Tide might need help to reach the CFP in Mike DeBoer's first season. Oklahoma finishes at LSU, but will now make a bowl game in Brent Venables' third season.
