Alabama OC Nick Sheridan comments on offensive struggles vs. Tennessee

Alabama struggled offensively Saturday against Tennessee.

To keep it simple, the Alabama Crimson Tide struggled at times on offense during their 24-17 road loss to the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday.

In all, Alabama was out-gained in total yardage, 414-314, and were limited to their lowest scoring output of the 2024 season so far. The Crimson Tide also struggled to get much going on the ground by rushing for only 75 yards on 34 attempts, as well as on third down where they converted 3-of-14 attempts for the entire game.

Alabama also appeared to simply look flustered at times on offense, and were just never really quite able to capitalize when needed in order to build a lead, especially in the first half.

As part of his Monday morning press conference as well, Alabama offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan commented on some of those struggles, and gave his thoughts on just what went wrong offensively for the Crimson Tide in the loss.

“I think none of us coached or played well enough in the game Saturday, and that starts with me,” Sheridan said. “Our ability to execute consistently and take advantage of the opportunities we were presented, we obviously fell short in those spots, and it’s all of us. We’re all involved in that.”

Sheridan also gave his thoughts on some missed opportunities for the Alabama offense on Saturday, especially after the defense created three turnovers in the first half.

“It was disappointing because I certainly felt like there were opportunities in the game for us to capitalize on those, and we didn’t do it,” Sheridan said. “It goes back to execution and the calls that you make. You always reflect on that, and what you could’ve done different. That was a factor in that, and I was disappointed that we weren’t able to capitalize in those moments.”
