Kalen DeBoer

He was going through a few different things — some from games before, and one from the game on Saturday, too

But also, those are things that have happened earlier in the season

Ryan’s got a couple things going on

This is an injury that’s been going on for a couple weeks now

Racin, with his lower-leg injury, just continue to evaluate him and kind of see where he’s at in the days ahead

We can’t put the game in that situation where the officials come into play

He’s determined to get on the football field

Justin, just working back from his lower-extremity injury, he’ll be back this season, too, but more than likely not this week

Desmond, he’s continued to work back, but he’ll likely not be ready for this week, and probably a couple more weeks yet

Jorden will still be out for quite a while yet, still

It’s been, since day one, about never having regrets and competing until the very end

There’s, I think, probably more familiarity, and that’s us with them, and them with us, too

Trae’shawn’s benefited from a lot of the reps he got in the spring, summer [and]fall, and so he feels very comfortable out there now. You can see that he’s running hard, you know, just has a really good feel of what’s going to happen up front

The script’s never gonna look the same, it’s a different team and opponent every week, but we do believe we have a good thing going

I think that’s the difference right now: guys executing, playing confident, [and] trusting each other … to cut loose the ability that they have physically

Both of them will continue to miss some time

Zay just had an injury that popped up during pregame

Well, some of it was I just trusted what was done before here

Believe me, I’ve checked how long of a trip it is, too

A normal check-in in the season is probably around 6:45

He is making our program’s culture better every single day

It goes back to the offseason, when you get asked so much about ‘How are we going to improve the run game?’

Unfortunately, with Jayvin going down, we’ll kind of see what that looks like here the next couple of days

I’m just proud of our team

AK and Noah will be available. Just really progressing well in practice.

Daniel Hill, I would expect right now that he’d be good to go here this week

EJ, we anticipate him to be good to go by the weekend and stuff

We’ve got to start faster

We’ve got to remember that in those moments we can make it happen

We’ll continue to work with him

AK is making good progress

We took him on the trip; he didn’t play. We weren’t expecting him to play, but that kind of gives an indication, I think, of how close we are

[The illness] kept him, the last half of the week, out

I felt like we really were doing a good job of keeping them under wraps defensively most of the game

I thought our defense did a good job of continuing to evolve throughout the game

As the second half went along, I think they helped take some pressure off Keelon

Defensively, you have one game, offensively you have one game

The guys who are the closest [to returning] are Jireh [Edwards] and AK

Those guys, I think they had their moments

I’m rooting for this guy

AK does a nice job every single day. Feels like the growth is there

I’d like to think that he’s gonna be a piece of the puzzle when it comes to our running back position that’s going to be instrumental to us being as successful as we want to be

I didn’t come here to follow Coach Saban only to turn around after two years and go somewhere else

It may not feel like it when you’re in this moment right now and what happened today, but I can tell you it’s a fine [line] between being here and being at the top

It’s about going out and using your athleticism to make plays

Rico, two days ago, really took advantage of some balls that came his way, made a lot of nice plays

It’s faster at the college level, but he’s really adapted well

Between being healthy in the offseason and also understanding his body better, being a year older, he’s put on some weight. I think that’s helped in a lot of different ways

Lotzeir missed a couple practices and did not scrimmage today, and will just be out for a few more practices, I would expect

I think we really look at it, we want to be able to run the football better

I really think it’s best done when you have one guy taking the snaps consistently

Ideally, we want to have the same quarterback from start to finish

He’s doing a great job

Ryan that year as a freshman was that guy, and we’re going to need that from those guys that you mentioned

I understand why with a lot of new faces. And that’s okay, because we got to go prove it. We got to go out and get the job done

This team has a lot of new faces. For us, we felt we took some good steps in the right direction a year ago

They’re guys that are in different years as far as Austin going into his fourth in this system, Keelon going into his second, so a little bit of a difference there

I think skillset-wise you’re talking about a much taller, bigger quarterback with Austin. He will surprise people when he really gets out and runs because he runs very well; better I think than most people think

It’s going to be one that when we do make the decision we’ll be confident we’ll do a great job

We want to be able to run the football better

[With] Austin being ready to go, he did some nice things when he got on the football field there tonight

It won’t be a big group this fall

A guy like Meadows sticks out in my mind. Derek is a long receiver that can cover a lot of ground and make a lot of plays

I think people equate passing game with not (being a) physical team. I don’t agree with that

We had recipes for success. Get on top of people, let the defense pin the years back and get after you when you get a nice lead

You know what he’s done, he knows what it’s supposed to look like, knows what it feels like. He’s been there, he’s worked extremely hard. People, I think, think, ‘oh it’s a wake-up call for your football team’ or whatever it might be

There’s a couple weeks where they do get that one time a year to get away. Guess who’s here? You know and that’s Ryan Coleman-Williams

He’s got great balance

My family and I would like to thank the Board of Trustees, Chancellor Trant, President Mohler, Director of Athletics Greg Byrne, our athletics administration and football staff, this community and the University for their continued support of Alabama Football

Unfortunately, he suffered an injury that’s gonna take a little while to recover, and it will bleed into the season here a little bit

He will have to get evaluated. Unfortunate with him getting dinged up. We’ll kind of see what that looks like

This week was a little bit where Keelon got more reps just with some things Austin is going through.

Just been around it long enough

So many things that are on the field and off the field that just equate to a guy that you’d want in your program leading your team

A lot of the guys we added are better than what we had, and we got them for a lot less money

Caleb has come in, and you can see that he has been on the football field

I love the aggressiveness that they have. They’re not gun-shy. They go and make plays

I think they’re gaining more confidence in the offensive line each and every day. That’s going to take time

EJ’s really not taking a lot of reps, if any at all. And so that’s unfortunate, but we’ll keep working

I thought AK had a couple of nice runs in there. All of them gotta continue to grow and get better

Zebbo (Jah-Marien) Latham will be out for the spring

There’s nothing that’s happened in practice over the last couple of days

I’d have to see exactly how 24 comes together

Richard Owens possesses a diverse skillset and knowledge for the game that he has grown over time as both a player and coach

Adrian Klemm has a reputation for recruiting and developing players at every level, having worked with some of the top offensive lines in his 15-plus years coaching

You always love going into a season where you absolutely know who your quarterback is, but that won’t be the case

I’m fired up about that group. I’m fired up about what those guys bring, both the returners and also the newcomers that are coming in

It’s about production

You’ve just got to trust your guys

Man, whatever it takes

That’s what we’ll do. I’ll let Coach (Ryan) Grubb and the offensive staff do their thing. That was fun getting KP a touch last week, and it was at an important time, too.
