The Oklahoma Sooners defense put together a dominant performance in their 24-3 win over the Alabama Crimson Tide.
There were a number of standout performances on the evening, including what Febechi Nwaiwu and Xavier Robinson did in the run game to earn SEC Weekly Honors.
On the defensive side of the ball it was R Mason Thomas making his presence felt, holding one of the best offenses in the nation to three points. For his efforts, Thomas earned SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week.
Thomas earned his eighth sack of the season in the win and had Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe under pressure for a lot of the night. He recorded two quarterback hurries, one of which came on fourth down where he hit Milroe’s arm leading to Woodi Washington’s interception.
Thomas has experienced a breakout season after injuries kept him from seeing the field much in his two years in Norman. Now, he has a chance to finish the year with double-digit sacks.
