Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley was trying everything to get his team going after an abysmal first quarter against Alabama in the College Football Playoff.
With the Sooners down 21-0 and on their heels again defensively, Riley had the entire team huddle around him for a pep talk to try to get something going before the game got completely out of hand.
Lincoln Riley just pulled entire team for a chat. I’d guess it’s something along the lines of, “that, that not so much”. pic.twitter.com/I4mJFOHz6d

ESPN cameras caught the chat as well, with Riley aggressively exhorting his team in a desperate attempt to motivate them. Unfortunately, it didn’t really pay dividends, as the Crimson Tide completed the drive to make it a 28-0 blowout early in the second quarter.
