50 Cent’s ‘Many Men’ electrifies Oklahoma crowd, and Sooners score two plays later

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma appears to have gotten a boost from 50 Cent.

The rapper performed his 2003 hit “Many Men (Wish Death)” 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.
