No. 15 Alabama football rebounded from last week’s loss vs. Tennessee with a resounding 34-0 shutout victory over No. 21 Missouri at Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday.
The Crimson Tide’s defensive was stout from start to finish, and Alabama’s offense fed off of that momentum throughout the second half, leading to a dominant final score.
Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer will speak to the media after the game.
Follow along for updates from DeBoer’s postgame press conference with a full transcript and press conference video to be posted after.
Kalen DeBoer Press Conference
-Part of the opening statement: “We got to have some better awareness with some things just living in the gray area and stuff, and it’s hurting us just from really taking a big, big step, and I feel like we’re just right on the edge.”
-On Cole Adams: “Lower-extremity, probably going to be some of the more evaluation, but it feels like that might be a little bit of time.”
-Offensive struggle in the first half: “I think field position certainly kept us from having drives, and you have to have explosives if you’re going to go the length of the field. And we just missed on those. We knew that was gonna be hard when we got the red zone level down. That’s frustrating when you have to walk away with field goals. But you know, Graham did a nice job.”
-10 takeaways in three games: “You’re only as good as your last player, only as good as your last game. And so there are things you make sure that you’re, you know, you do well, and that’s something that is certainly, there’s some, there’s some good vibes when it comes to taking the football away defensively.”
-Third-down defense: “You’re always looking for the things and the wins that you’re you’re doing. I know we have our goals and what we think we need to do each and every week, but just flat out, having that each week be something that we can hang our hat on, whether it’s takeaways or now, you know, after today’s game, just getting off the field of third down, those are momentum builders.”
