Kalen DeBoer emphasises emotional discipline for Alabama following Tennessee game

Published

Alabama football wide receiver Kendrick Law converted a fourth-and-manageable into a fourth-and-good fortune.

Kalen DeBoer the right coach for the future, but not the right now for  Alabama

After a third-down play, Law collided with a Tennessee player, resulting in a personal foul call.

 

It set up a fourth-and-22 with Alabama needing a touchdown in the waning minutes of the game, which the Crimson Tide ultimately lost to Tennessee. Alabama failed to convert and turned the ball over on downs.

 

Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer was asked to share what message he gave to Law, but DeBoer spoke generally.

 

“The message continues to be, with the team, it’s not just one, we’ve got to learn from those moments,” DeBoer said. “Those moments are big. Our choices, our decisions, our words, our actions, all of those things, they have to be focused on what’s best for our team. Obviously in that moment, we’re fighting to try to find a way to win.”

DeBoer also talked about the importance of controlling what you can, considering many elements and moments are things that can’t be controlled in a game.

 

“We have to make sure other people’s thoughts don’t become ours,” DeBoer said. “We’ve got to make sure if someone’s talking to us, we’ve got to learn to walk the other way, and be more emotionally disciplined in every facet.”

 

Next up, No. 15 Alabama will face No. 21 Missouri on Saturday (2:45 p.m. CT, ABC) at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
