Kalen DeBoer, Alabama football coaches talk injuries, Jalen Milroe, Missouri
Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer, offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan and defensive coordinator Kane Wommack will be at the forefront of trying to get things figured out as the Crimson Tide looks to go on a run and make the College Football Playoff.
The recent loss to Tennessee on the road makes that path more difficult and creates less margin for error. Or more specifically, less margin for another loss.
Alabama now has two losses with games against Missouri, LSU, Mercer, Oklahoma and Auburn to close out the schedule.
DeBoer, Sheridan and Wommack held their weekly press conferences Monday. Here’s a recap of some of what they said.
Live updates: Kalen DeBoer press conference, Alabama football coaches talk before Missouri
Kalen DeBoer
- “We’ve had two losses now. Trying to find those complete games as a team.”
- “We‘ve got to play better as a team. That’s what great teams do.”
- DeBoer said Alabama can’t have the mistakes, penalties and other issues.
- “It starts with me continuing to set the standard that leads to high performance.”
- DeBoer said he has a group of guys that want to be great. He can see that in their response and how they show up to work.
- “Being a championship football team is hard. We all signed up for it.”
- “It takes everything we‘ve got. That’s what we all signed up for.”
- “There‘s never going to be excuses. That’s one thing that only softens character. That lowers the standard. That will never happen.”
- DeBoer on injuries: Keon Sabb has a lower extremity injury. “We do expect him to be down for a while.”
- “I know this week is going to be one where we get back to work.”
- DeBoer asked about if Milroe is dealing with any injuries. “There’s nothing that is going to be holding him back from being able to go out there” and helping to get a win. But DeBoer noted everyone playing significant snaps right now is dealing with something usually.
- “We‘ve got to make sure other people’s thoughts don’t become ours.”
- “Be more emotionally disciplined in every facet” is something that DeBoer stressed.
- Bray Hubbard stepping in for Keon Sabb, DeBoer said Hubbard “has a high level of want to.” “There’s a next-man up mentality, and excited about the opportunity Bray has in front of him.”
- DeBoer asked if there‘s still a learning curve for the offense learning DeBoer’s scheme. “I think there always is. We‘re halfway through the season. We‘ve got to continue to do things he’s comfortable with. I think he‘s comfortable with everything we ask him.” … “I know in Jalen’s case how it takes it all on himself.”
- DeBoer asked about if Alabama wants to use Conor Talty in long field goals instead of Graham Nicholson. “We’ve got a lot of confidence in both of those guys, to be honest with you.”
Nick Sheridan
- Asked to assess Jalen Milroe’s play against Tennessee. “None of us coached or played well in the game Saturday. That starts with me.” … “Jalen is an extremely confident player. I have no concerns about that at all.”
- Sheridan was asked if there were any communication issues. “I would say we had some communication issues. There was no doubt about it.” Sheridan said that will have to get better when Alabama is in an environment like that again.
- Sheridan said the running game is an area that will be “a point of emphasis for us this week for sure.”
- Sheridan asked about not being able to score after defense got takeaways vs. Tennessee. “That was disappointing because I certainly felt like there were opportunities in the game to capitalize on those.”
- Sheridan on his message to Jalen Milroe: I think Jalen has made some incredible plays for us this year. I don‘t think there’s any doubt about it … When you come up short, there are always plays you would like back … That‘s not just the quarterback. That’s everybody.”
- Sheridan talked about the importance of getting off the ground and “keep swinging.”
- “Get back to playing the type of football we’re capable of playing” Sheridan said of the message to the team this week.
- Sheridan on incorporating veteran receivers. “We‘re always looking at utilizing all personnel we have … That’s at every position.”
- Sheridan on Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard pretending to shoot a basketball on the fourth down play. “There‘s nothing on the field we’re not coaching. That’s how I would answer that.”
- “We’ve got to eliminate the negative plays.”
Kane Wommack
- Wommack pointed to three explosive runs given up as the main issue defending the run in the Tennessee game.
- Wommack praised Missouri quarterback Brady Cook for his toughness.
- Wommack asked about Bray Hubbard and King Mack, two reserve defensive backs. Wommack praised Hubbard overall. “King was asked to do a tough deal … He battled his tail off. Made some plays. Ultimately would love to have that last touchdown back.”
- Wommack on his overall defensive back depth: “There’s always a next-man up mentality … the guys who are rolling with the 2s at any given moment” might have to step in. Wommack said the young guys have an urgency in practice to get in.
- Wommack asked about the illegal substitution penalty. “If you’re injured, the protocol there is for the guy to go down.”
- Wommack asked about playing better team football. “There are no excuses. The standard is the standard … But these are some of the growing pains we’re going to deal with and continue to work through as a football team.”
- “Kalen does a tremendous job with the culture of our program.”
- Wommack said Alabama has done a good job with its response to the Tennessee loss.

Reinforcing the offensive line has been a priority for the New Orleans Saints, who opened free agency by signing former Buffalo Bills left guard David Edwards to a four-year, $61 million contract. Even though the franchise has allocated plenty of resources to its offensive line, the free agency addition won’t stop them from seeking more offensive line talent.
The franchise is focused on protecting second-year quarterback Tyler Shough. If a starting offensive lineman is injured, someone must step up. Currently, Asim Richards is the only reliable backup for left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. or right tackle Taliese Fuaga. On the interior, Dillon Radunz would make sense as a reliable replacement if someone were to go down between Edwards, center Erik McCoy, and right guard Cesar Ruiz.
Drafting a promising offensive lineman in 2026 makes sense, as the Saints hold five Day 3 picks. It’s unlikely general manager Mickey Loomis will spend early draft capital on a tackle, but a late pick is logical. Missouri’s Keagen Trost, projected for Day 3, could fit this need.
Trost, 25, recently worked out privately with the Saints, a source told Saints Wire. The Missouri standout earned a 92.4 Pro Football Focus grade in 13 games last season, ranking No. 1 among 632 eligible collegiate tackles. He also allowed just one sack in 834 total snaps.
Trost’s high grades project him in the fifth round, and he offers versatility, including potential to move inside. At his pro day, he measured 6-foot-4 and 313 pounds. The main issue is his 32 3/8-inch arms, which are shorter than teams prefer for starting tackles. He has extensive SEC experience and strong college production to back it up.
Picks No. 150 and 172 in the fifth round are logical choices for New Orleans to consider selecting Trost. Multiple teams have shown interest in him; he had five pre-draft visits and recently held virtual meetings with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals, and Atlanta Falcons, according to a source. While there are many highly regarded offensive linemen in this class, Trost’s versatility appears to set him apart from the others.

WHEATLAND, Mo. — It was all Kerry Madsen on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway as the 54-year-old native of Australia, who’s now based in Knoxville, Iowa, picked up his first Interstate Batteries High Limit Sprint racing victory.
Madsen led all 30 laps to earn the $12,000 prize. He outdistanced runner-up Sue Lynch by 2.79 seconds with Tanner Holmes finishing third.
“The car’s been super quick every time we’ve hit the track,” Madsen said, noting several competitive runs in the early portion of the High Limit schedule. “The car’s been quick every night, which gives you a lot of confidence.
“We haven’t drawn well in dashes and had some little stuff going on. We drew a good one (tonight) and the car was good and we got the job done. I’m pretty happy.”
That changed this time as Madsen beat Holmes in the dash, to claim the pole position for the feature.
Madsen said his young crew chief Ty Wolfgang has “done a great job” getting in sync with him. Communication has been a big key.
“I know it sounds weird, but just hanging out together,” Madsen said of the driver-crew chief chemistry. “Dinner and a beer and just talk about racing. You do that and it might be a Wednesday night, but something clicks. He’s been real receptive with that stuff and that’s great.”
Madsen, a former Knoxville Nationals 360 winner, paced the early going after starting from the pole, with Holmes in close pursuit. Action slowed on lap six with Chase Randall and Danny Samms III tangling in turn two for the first and only yellow of the event.
Lynch moved into second on the restart as Madsen opened a 1.5-second lead by lap nine as Holmes dropped to third. Madsen’s margin swelled to nearly two seconds by lap 11 – but Lynch tracked down the leader and cut the deficit to a half-second at the halfway mark on lap 15.
As the race continued until green-flag conditions, Madsen settled into a one-second advantage as Lynch and Holmes tried to keep pace. Madsen poured it on in the late stages, cruising to the checkers by nearly three seconds over Lynch.
“Hopefully we can keep rolling like this all year. Obviously, you can’t win every night, but being quick and running well is going to be awesome,” Madsen said.
Lynch, 28 from Cowansville, Pa., said the team found some steering issues and gave him a fast car. It just was not fast enough to stay with Madsen on Saturday night.
“We were battling steering issue in the dash and it was pretty obvious,” Lynch said. “We just didn’t have time to change it and we just tried to make it the best we could. Really the car was super good. The guys busted their butt all night. It’s a testament to the team. We’re working hard and hopefully one spot better real soon.”
Holmes, a 22-year-old from Jacksonville, Oregon, came home third with Daison Pursley fourth, Hank Davis fifth and Rico Abreu charging from 11th to sixth.
“Our best night of the year,” Holmes said. “We’ve got to race a little bit during a break with High Limit these last few weeks. Some of those nights when we got our teeth kicked in taught us a lot.”
Fast overall qualifier was Sye Lynch at 13.342 seconds out of Group A. Aaron Reutzel led Group B with a lap of 13.469 seconds. Both were well off the track record for 410 Sprints held by Rico Abreu at 12.829 seconds on June 29, 2024.
The finish:
Feature: 1. 55-Kerry Madsen[1]; 2. 42-Sye Lynch[3]; 3. 13-Tanner Holmes[2]; 4. 9-Daison Pursley[4]; 5. 17GP-Hank Davis[5]; 6. 24-Rico Abreu[11]; 7. 7BC-Tyler Courtney[12]; 8. 77-Giovanni Scelzi[6]; 9. 19-Brent Marks[9]; 10. 26-Justin Peck[10]; 11. 88-Tanner Thorson[15]; 12. 21-Brian Brown[14]; 13. 28-Jace Park[23]; 14. 87-Aaron Reutzel[7]; 15. 19JR-Joel Myers Jr[20]; 16. 45X-Rees Moran[21]; 17. 5-Brenham Crouch[19]; 18. 44-Chris Martin[8]; 19. 19H-Kaleb Johnson[22]; 20. 87X-Logan Seavey[17]; 21. 36-Jason Martin[16]; 22. 9R-Chase Randall[18]; 23. 24D-Danny Sams III[13]; 24. 2-Miles Paulus[24]
