Full transcript and press conference video as the Alabama head coach recaps the win at LSU and looks ahead to Saturday's game with Mercer.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer met with the media Monday afternoon to recap the Crimson Tide's 42-13 win over LSU and look ahead to this Saturday's matchup with Mercer."With it being Veteran's Day, I just want to say a quick thank you to those that have served, those that continue to serve, give us the freedoms that we have. Appreciate all of the veterans.
"The one thing when I think about Que is not just what he is on the field, but pre-practice, he is mentoring, doing things for other guys. He just cares so much about the team. He just cares so much about this place. This is just something that sticks out on top of what you see on game days. Just a great person. He's poured a lot into this place.
"But moving forward to Mercer. An extremely high-quality football team. Us handling success coming off a game or games that we've had here, it's important for us to do the right things as far as knowing no points carry over from last week. Nothing as far as our stats carry over. We've got a team that's coming in 9-1, very confident team. Pretty much lead their league in most statistical categories on both sides of the ball.
"I think probably as much as anything it's just the number of reps we got. This being the second time really after the Tennessee game and then also having a bye week and just really honing in on it and be dialed . It helps when you make plays, too. There was less plays where we had as much noise, and so the percentages were more in our favor as far as just the execution piece. But our guys just did a better job handling it from start to finish.
