After Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray won the Heisman trophy over Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Crimson Tide players, fans and coaches made it clear that they were not happy.
The hashtag “#dec29” was created to signify the day in which the Sooners and Crimson Tide will go to battle in a college football playoff game that will now take on even bigger meaning. (RELATED: People Can’t Stop Talking About The Player Who Just Won The Heisman Trophy)
Alabama linebacker Mack Wilson was not happy.
Make them regret it 13.. Not saying Kyler isn’t good but he took 200 snaps more than Tua ????????♂️

It’s striking to see the number of Crimson Tide defensive players who chimed in. This Alabama defense wants a piece of Kyler Murray, and they’re going to get it in Miami on December 29.
