Even when the Oklahoma Sooners were finding some success in the College Football Playoff semifinal, they couldn’t seem to get out of their own way.
The Sooners got on the board with a touchdown early in the second quarter to bring the score to 28-7. However, thanks to some shoving in the end zone, they took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the score, and then took an unnecessary roughness penalty after converting the extra point.
That meant Oklahoma was forced to take the ensuing kickoff from their own 10-yard line.

Ultimately, Oklahoma forced Alabama to punt on the ensuing drive, as they rather oddly called for a fair catch at their own 20. The kickoff location didn’t end up harming them. It certainly created a hilarious visual that we don’t see often, though.
