DeBoer's Focus: Oklahoma, Not Michigan Drama
13 Dec
Summary
- Alabama's Kalen DeBoer is focused on Oklahoma, not Michigan rumors.
- Oklahoma has historically been a tough opponent for DeBoer.
- Alabama overcame a Week 1 loss to reach the playoffs.
As the College Football Playoffs approach, Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer's attention is firmly fixed on their next opponent, Oklahoma, rather than ongoing speculation about the Michigan situation. This focus comes despite Oklahoma having a history of success against DeBoer's teams. The Crimson Tide's journey to the playoffs was marked by resilience, notably overcoming a Week 1 loss to Florida State and defeating highly ranked opponents, including SEC champion Georgia.
The team's ability to bounce back from early setbacks and their overall body of work have positioned them for a playoff run. DeBoer has emphasized the importance of depth and execution, noting how the team's resilience has been crucial. He believes that by meshing their strengths and executing at a higher level, they can achieve their goals in the playoffs.
With the potential return of key players like tight end Josh Cuevas, running back Jam Miller, and EDGE rusher LT Overton, Alabama appears poised to face the challenge. DeBoer acknowledges Oklahoma and coach Brett Venables as a formidable opponent, but the team is no stranger to facing doubt and proving doubters wrong.
