The Sooners\u2019 four-game run of takeaways unsurpisingly led to lots of success, with those games resulting in wins at Tennessee, at Alabama and at home against Missouri and LSU.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Ironically enough, Alabama\u2019s offense has been much better at taking care of the ball than Oklahoma\u2019s offense this season, yet the Crimson Tide turned the ball over three times in November\u2019s matchup with the Sooners. Alabama outgained Oklahoma 406-212 in that game, but the turnovers made Alabama\u2019s dominance in the yardage department a moot point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Takeaways are extremely volatile and difficult to rely on.
