Alabama football needed momentum in the College Football Playoff against Oklahoma. Tim Keenan III delivered. Watch the blocked punt here.

In a game of runs, Alabama and Oklahoma traded 17-point barrages Friday night. At the end of the 17-17 half, the College Football Playoff game left social media reaction going from one extreme to another. At one point, the Sooners had more points (17) than Alabama had yards (12). Kalen DeBoer’s Tide then rallied.

Michigan fired head coach Sherrone Moore on Dec. 10 and is searching for a replacement on the sidelines. One of those top names on the athletic department’s radar is Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer, who led the Crimson Tide to a 10-3 record and CFP appearance this season.

Here's why Alabama football's sideline was penalized in the first half against Oklahoma in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
