Is Alabama football finding motivation from Oklahoma players taking photos on the Bryant-Denny Stadium logo after beating the Crimson Tide?

What several OU football players did last month on Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium didn't go unnoticed, or forgotten, by Alabama football players.

Following the Sooners' victory over the Crimson Tide in Bryant-Denny Stadium, numerous Oklahoma players took photos on the roped-off Alabama logo.

Alabama players haven't forgotten their last game — last two, really — against Oklahoma. The Sooners won 23-21 in Tuscaloosa a month ago and then celebrated by taking photos at midfield after ending the Crimson Tide's 17-game home-winning streak.

The crimson-and-cream blueblood that is Oklahoma will do something for the first time. It will host a College Football Playoff game.

According to DeBoer's contract, which was obtained by The Tuscaloosa News, the Alabama coach has a $4 million buyout if he leaves the Crimson Tide in his 2025 contract year. The buyout shrinks to $3 million if he leaves in the 2026 contract year. From 2027-31, DeBoer does not have a buyout.

Alabama and head football coach Kalen DeBoer landed the No. 2 recruiting class in 2026. The Crimson Tide secured 22 signees during the Early Signing Period. 247Sports caught up with sources within the building in Tuscaloosa to get some thoughts on each and every new addition to the Alabama football team.
