Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight had only completed 47 passes all season entering the 2014 Allstate Sugar Bowl against Alabama, but the freshman registered a Sugar Bowl-record 32 completions and set an OU bowl record with four touchdown passes against the Crimson Tide to lead the Sooners to a 45-31 victory in New Orleans. Knight stepped up on the biggest stage of his young career for OU (11-2), finishing the game with 348 yards against an Alabama squad that entered the game ranked fifth in the nation in total defense. The Crimson Tide, led by senior quarterback AJ McCarron's 387-yard, two-touchdown performance, made some big plays throughout the evening but was unable to keep pace with the Sooners due to five crucial turnovers. Oklahoma forced McCarron into three miscues - a pair of interceptions and one fumble - that all resulted in points for the Sooners. The fifth and final takeaway of the night came at critical juncture for OU when defensive end Geneo Grissom scooped up a McCarron for an eight-yard touchdown to seal the win in the final minute. The Crimson Tide (11-2) managed to generate over 500 yards of offense, but after taking an early 7-0 lead, were never able to regain a scoreboard advantage against Oklahoma. The Sooners finished the game with 429 yards of offense as wide receiver Jalen Saunders caught a pair of touchdowns, while fellow senior wide out Lacoltan Bester registered one score and a team-high 105 receiving yards. The official 2014 Allstate Sugar Bowl DVD is a great addition to the collection of any Oklahoma fan.

neutral review
info off case/dvd:* bonus features- trophy presentation* running time- 171 minutes* team marketing sports dvds, xos digital* fullscreen 16:9(thin black bars on top and bottom)great game, decent dvd. no major extras but the game seems mostly there.....commentary, replays, crowd noise, multiple shots of katherine webb. i kid, i kid:) some awkward edits, but i can live with them if it means no commercials. dvd quality doesnt look great, but in fairness i was watching on an old 60" big screen and dvd player. im sure on a smaller screen with a dvd/bluray upconverter it would look better. great back and forth game. recommended.

DVD OF 2014 ALLSTATE SUGAR BOWL EXCELS
I was surprised at the high quality of the DVD. In past years reviewers have disdained the video quality of pre-recorded DVD's of sporting events. The quality is close to Blu-ray. Another aspect I liked was the completeness of the broadcast. Unlike the re-broadcast of college football games shown on ESPN, there is no skipping ahead because of "time constraints". Every snap of the game was shown. All this without commercials. Fantastic. Speaking of the broadcast, it was the original broadcast of the game with the ESPN broadcast crew. I could not be more pleased with my purchase of the 2014 Allstate Sugar Bowl DVD. I suppose if I were a Crimson Tide fan I could have found a few faults with the DVD. 5 Stars!

Backing up his words
Stoops stuck it to the SEC with this big win. If you are an Oklahoma fan or even a college football fan you are going to want this as part of your collection. It's weird for OU to be the underdog but no one gave them a chance to win. ESPN analysts even said that if they played a perfect game they had no chance. If you want to see the future of Oklahoma football watch this game.

The quality of video is not great. Doesn't appear to be HD quality. The editing is fine.

Gives THE GAME and not any commercial stuff, etc.v at all.
When you watch this - no plays missing, no commercials, no lengthy "yakking" by any observers....really, if you like football, when you tune in to a football game on TV....This mode of presentation is just great...Thanks...PS It also helps if you're an OU FAN...!!!

OU rocks
One of the best purchases ever. I wish I had bought the blu ray version, but the picture is very clear as well and it was great rewatching the glory of beating Saban again and hearing the anouncers just gawk at our team speed.

A great way to watch a football game
What I like most about watching on DVD is that I can slow down the game, slow down the plays, even frame by frame, and see where each player comes from, and how he does what he does.

Great game
