**Porter Moser Calls Bama ‘Easy Pickings’ as Sooners Prepare to Expose Overrated Top 10 Team**
In a bold and unexpected move ahead of one of the biggest matchups of the season, Oklahoma head coach Porter Moser appeared to throw down the gauntlet in a recent press conference, referring to Alabama as “easy pickings.” The No. 8 Crimson Tide and No. 10 Sooners are set to clash in what many see as a test of legitimacy for both programs, but Moser’s comments have sparked a firestorm of controversy and debate.
Moser, known for his strategic mind and fiery energy on the sidelines, didn’t hold back when asked about Alabama’s much-lauded transition game. “Look, their transition game is fast, sure. But elite? I wouldn’t go that far. We’ve been working on ways to shut that down all week. At the end of the day, I think people are going to see they’re not as invincible as they’ve been hyped up to be.”
Critics and fans alike were quick to pounce on his remarks, calling them arrogant and even disrespectful. Social media exploded, with Alabama fans accusing Moser of underestimating their squad and Sooners faithful applauding his confidence.
This matchup has now transcended the X’s and O’s, evolving into a battle of narratives. Alabama boasts one of the nation’s most explosive offenses, with their ability to run the floor and generate easy buckets in transition being a hallmark of their success. On the other hand, Oklahoma has quietly emerged as a disciplined and balanced team capable of dictating pace and exploiting weaknesses.
If Moser’s words were meant to fire up his own team, the strategy may backfire. The Crimson Tide are likely to take the comments as bulletin board material, adding extra fuel to an already intense game.
Whether the Sooners can live up to Moser’s bold words or whether Alabama will silence the critics remains to be seen. One thing’s for sure: all eyes will be on this highly anticipated showdown.
