Kalen DeBoer is in his first season as Alabama’s head coach. He suffered a loss in his first time coaching in the Third Saturday in October rivalry game against Tennessee.
The Vols defeated Alabama, 24-17, at Neyland Stadium on Saturday. DeBoer met with media following the contest and recapped the Crimson Tide’s performance.
“A tough loss,” he said. “A frustrating loss. We’ve had two now. We just can’t play team football, can’t bring it together. One side of the ball has highlighted moments, and the other side stumbles. Some missed opportunities. We try to look inward after every game. We have to continue to do the same. I know we have a locker room that’s hurting. There is a common feel in the locker room after a loss, but there is no doubt in my mind that these guys poured everything into the preparation. I’m frustrated we can’t get over the hump.”
