Alabama will look to take another step towards reaching the College Football Playoff on Saturday when its takes on Oklahoma in Norman. This is a big game for both teams as Alabama can stay on track to reach the CFP with a win, while the Sooners need one more victory to become bowl eligible.

Oklahoma has battled injuries all year and this week is no different. The latest injury report for the Alabama vs. Oklahoma game was released by the SEC on Thursday.

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer said earlier this week that Saturday is an opportunity to prove to the College Football Playoff selection committee that the Crimson Tide has what it takes. However, ranked No. 7 they appear to have already done that. If they’re not in ‘win-and-you’re-in’ territory, they’re pretty close.

“It’s going to take a great week of preparation,” DeBoer told reporters. “A physical football team all around. Their defense is, I think, an extremely tough defense in all ways. Just what they do with their scheme and then with their personnel, the way they fly around.”

Under head coach Brent Venables, that should be no surprise. The Sooners ranked 24th nationally in total defense — greater than Alabama’s which is ranked 32nd.

However, it’s OU’s offense that has been the greatest cause of concern in 2024. The Sooners have scored 30 or more points three times in 10 games this season — and only once in the past seven games dating back to the start of SEC play on Sept. 21.

Kickoff is set for Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. ET and will air live on ABC.
