Everyone eagerly awaits the Oklahoma vs Alabama playoff game, and both Kalen DeBoer and Brent Venables are under pressure. However, for several reasons, Coach DeBoer faces the most pressure here. Maybe higher than coach Venables.

Alabama faced heavy criticism for earning a spot in the playoff, and every win under Kalen DeBoer will prove that Crimson Tide Football did not receive its playoff berth as charity. The second and most important pressure for Coach DeBoer comes from the injury to star quarterback Ty Simpson.

The Alabama QB is dealing with a back injury. Although most of the staff believe he will play and his condition has improved. Yet, the injury risk will still remain during the game. A back issue can also affect his on-field performance.

In this situation, Alabama legend Shaun Alexander has shared very special advice for Kalen DeBoer. Suggesting, how Crimson Tide Football can dominate not only Oklahoma vs Alabama but also all upcoming games.

Alexander said, “If you play a game where your defense has to win, Bama is going to win those majority of times.”

Here, Shaun not only reminded everyone of Alabama’s defensive legacy but also delivered a clear piece of advice for Kalen DeBoer. Alabama must dominate the Oklahoma vs Alabama game through its defense. And, it’s best for them if the offense is not that healthy.

For Coach DeBoer, the Oklahoma vs Alabama game means far more than a normal college football matchup. It is a playoff game, so its importance is high for both teams. However, for Kalen DeBoer, this game matters even more because it serves as both a test and a moment of revenge.

Last year, Alabama suffered a heavy loss to Oklahoma. The defeat was so poor that it raised serious questions. Many even called it embarrassing, especially for a program once considered the top team in the SEC.

One loss can always be labeled a fluke, but if Alabama loses to Oklahoma again, Crimson Tide fans will not hesitate to demand DeBoer’s firing. That is why this Oklahoma vs Alabama Playoff game becomes even more intriguing.

It raises one clear question: Will Brent Venables once again disappoint Crimson Tide Football, or will Kalen DeBoer finally get his revenge this time?
