USA TODAY College Sports Wire on MSNKalen DeBoer updates Alabama starting quarterback competition at SEC media daysAlabama head coach Kalen DeBoer gave an update on the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback outlook at SEC media days.
Alabama football will need to replace some production in the pass rush this season. The team’s two leading sack leaders, linebacker Jihaad Campbell and Que Robinson are both off to the NFL.
Kalen DeBoer's message at SEC Media Days was positive, but it is clear he knows the standard he must hit at Alabama.
Four years without a national championship feels like a severe drought for veteran Alabama players. Similarly, one year of missing the College Football Playoff has second-year coach Kalen DeBoer feeling the pressure to restore the Crimson Tide's status as one of the nation's top teams in 2025.
Alabama football never lost at home in coach Kalen DeBoer’s first season in Tuscaloosa. The same can’t be said for the road. The Crimson Tide finished 9-4 in 2024, and that includes losses to Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Michigan away from Bryant-Denny Stadium. The loss to the Wolverines occurred in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
