Oklahoma, Auburn Fined by SEC for Field-Stormings After Alabama, Texas A&M Upsets

A pair of upsets in the SEC have resulted in fines for two schools after their fans stormed the field.

The conference announced Sunday that Oklahoma and Auburn have incurred fines for violations of the league's access to competition area policy due to fans entering the field. Auburn will be fined $100,000 after fans stormed the field following its win over No. 15 Texas A&M while Oklahoma will be fined $200,000 after its win over No. 7 Alabama led to fans storming the field.

Auburn was fined $100,000 because it was the school's first offense of the competition area policy that was revised in 2023. Oklahoma was also a first-time offender but picked up an additional $100,000 fine because its fans entered the field before the game was over.

The Sooners, who came into the matchup with Alabama at 5-5 and 1-5 in conference play, were dominant in the 24-3 win. While they had just 68 passing yards on the night, they picked up 260 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground. Oklahoma also forced star quarterback Jalen Milroe to throw three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.

Oklahoma's first season in the SEC hadn't gone well before Saturday as its only conference win came against Auburn, but it managed to pick up a big win before the end of the year and can add to its resume next week against LSU.

Auburn didn't have as easy of a time knocking off Texas A&M as Oklahoma did beating Alabama. The Tigers went into four overtimes before finally taking down the Aggies behind a big night from running back Jarquez Hunter, who had 130 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

The win got Auburn one victory away from becoming bowl-eligible, though the Tigers will have to beat Alabama on its home field to get to six wins.
