Kalen DeBoer is 5–2 for just the third time in his career, and the Crimson Tide need to win out to have a chance at the SEC title game or a playoff spot.
The goalposts had been toppled and the entirety of Neyland Stadium was wreathed in cigar smoke, which meant one thing: The Tennessee Volunteers had beaten the Alabama Crimson Tide again.
Alabama probably has to win out to make either of the two above goals reachable—and even then they might not be.It’s not DeBoer’s fault. Not the fault of the athletic director who hired him, Greg Byrne. Not the fault of the players. They’re probably all trying their best to come together and perform at peak capability. But monumental change is hard. It’s simply damn difficult to replace a legendary coach, a dominant personality and a monolithic program ethos in seamless fashion.
And now? Alabama is 2–2 in that league. Losing at Tennessee is not a great sin when that program is playing to its potential, which it is close to now. The original sin was losing to Vanderbilt, which compounds everything that has come afterward. The passing game was incredibly dependent upon freshman wide receiver Ryan Williams. While an elite talent, asking a 17-year-old to carry everything was a bit much. Williams was targeted an astounding 19 times, coming up with eight catches for 73 yards and a touchdown. Several times, Milroe missed him in the open field.
“I’ve got to take full ownership of that,” Milroe said of the offense’s struggles in general. “When it comes to communication up front, communication to the guys around , I’ve got to do a better job.”
