Alabama coach Nick Suban tried to clarify the comments he made after Saturday’s 4-63-48 win over Le Le Miss on Monday, in which he said it was as if the Rebels, who had recorded a 647-yard offense, had found their defense.
Saban told reporters during his regular weekly news conference on Monday that what he was referring to after the game was the feeling that his defense was always behind a game.
“They have some issues in terms of how we disguise certain things,” he said. “They were moving fast. We were struggling to stay in line, and we didn’t do a very good job of hiding things. So they were able to take advantage of a lot of situations.
“They know us well, so all of these things contributed to making me feel a little like we were behind a play.”
Miss Lee Miss Coach Lane Keefe spent three seasons from 2014 to ’16 as Saban’s offensive coordinator at Alabama.
On Monday, Kifin responded to Saban’s remarks by saying that during his time in Tuscaloosa he never knew the signs of the tide and that he does not allow time to run so fast as he does aggressively to steal signals in the first place.
He said, “We basically say a play before the last play is over. Before they mark the ball, we call our play.” Then they roam to call their play. They are just trying to keep their person in line. It will do us no good. By the time someone relays it to us, we’re already rolling the ball. “
Miss Le Miss’s 48 points were the highest score of 2 Alabama allowed an unranked opponent in the AP era (since 1936).
However, on Monday, the sub said, referring to defensive coordinator Pete Golding, “I don’t think this call is a necessary issue. I think this call has been an issue.”
“The only mistake would be that we don’t learn from the mistakes we’ve made so that we can be better in the future, work hard to improve and hold everyone accountable for doing their job a little better,” Coach and the players said “That’s the way we can improve.”
No. 2 Alabama will not get a break this week when it will host No. 3 Georgia on Saturday.
Probably the Saab Bulldogs as “one of the best teams in the country.” “The best defensive team around the country.”
