  • The Sooners shocked the Crimson Tide on Saturday night, but had to pay a big price for fans entering the competition area in violation of SEC safety rules.

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has imposed a $200,000 fine on the University of Oklahoma for fans storming the field after their football team's victory over Alabama.
