Oklahoma's PFF Grades, Snap Counts for the Sooners' Big Win Against Alabama

It wasn't pretty, but the Oklahoma Sooners found themselves in a multiple-round boxing match with the Alabama Crimson Tide — not a beauty pageant.

As is always the story with the 2025 Sooners, the defense led the effort. Eli Bowen, who had perhaps the play of the game with an 87-yard pick-six in the first quarter, was graded out the third highest on defense with a 75 on 52 snaps per Pro Football Focus.

The fact that Bowen was the third-highest rated Sooner is a testament to how well the defense played

Defensive Back Reggie Powers III led the day with an 80.8 overall grade on 33 snaps. His coverage ability shined through with 79.7 rating — the highest on the team.

Offense

Remember the part about it not being pretty?

The Sooner offense did what it needed to do — play clean football. They didn't turn the ball over and kept John Mateer (54 snaps with a 64.8 overall grade) upright.

The star of the offense is the line. For the second game in a row, the Sooners rolled out three freshmen, two true and one redshirt, and won their fair share of battles. Senior Febechi Nwaiwu led the unit with a 64.3 overall grade on all 54 offensive snaps.
