NORMAN, Okla. (AP) 鈥� Oklahoma got a temporary boost from 50 Cent.
The rapper performed his 2003 hit 鈥淢any Men (Wish Death)鈥� between the third and fourth quarters of the Oklahoma-Alabama first-round College Football Playoff game. The Sooners have used it as a hype song in recent weeks.
Two plays later, Oklahoma’s Deion Burks caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from John Mateer to cut Alabama’s lead to 27-24.
It wasn’t enough, as Alabama regained the momentum and won 34-24.
Some of Alabama’s players enjoyed the show, too.
鈥淲e didn鈥檛 expect 50 Cent to show up, but crazy thing about that is we always listen to 鈥淢any Men鈥� on Friday, so we definitely got some juice right there for sure,鈥� Lawson said.
