Kip Lewis had seven tackles, including two sacks, and No. 11 Oklahoma stunned fourth-ranked Alabama 23-21 on Saturday to send shock waves through the Southeastern Conference. The Sooners (7-2, 4-2 SEC) had three takeaways -- scoring 17 points off those turnovers -- and got a key stop late to end Alabama's winning streaks of eight games overall and 17 at home.
"We're up two scores last week at Georgia -- where they never lose except Alabama -- and we didn't finish it off," Kiffin said afterward. "We got knocked down. And so that same situation happens today on the road; [ranked] team, No. 1 defense in the country. Can we be stronger in those situations, especially defensively? For that to happen, it's really cool."
This season, the Lancers' success can be attributed to the exceptional performance of Kai Minor, who has not only excelled with a .535 batting average but has also demonstrated remarkable skills in the outfield, making her a two-way asset for the team.
