Alabama defeated WKU with 63 points. How can it improve its offensive?
Alabama football team’s offensive display against Western Kentucky on Saturday was outstanding. The Crimson Tide outscored the Conference USA Hilltoppers by a total of 600 yards of offense.
Although Jalen Milroe only attempted nine passes, he completed seven of them for 200 yards and three touchdowns, in addition to 79 yards of running gain and two more scores. Even still, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer acknowledged that his debut performance wasn’t ideal.
Penalties here, penalties there,” stated DeBoer. “A communication error occurred.” We didn’t snap the ball, in my opinion. Parker Brailsford may have been attempting to signal something or lock the connection, in my opinion. And that’s just a matter of the quarterback and center communicating effectively. Just things like that that we can keep improving at. Suddenly, Jalen claps, signaling that it was time to snap the ball.
If there was one legitimate complaint about Saturday’s UA offensive assault, it would be that the Tide failed to maintain drives. DeBoer acknowledged the problem going ahead, even as Milroe and company rained down explosive plays on the Hilltoppers, so there wasn’t much of a need to.
The Crimson Tide had possession of the ball for 30:35, while Western Kentucky had it for 29:25. The Hilltoppers hated holding the ball for almost as long as UA, managing just 145 yards overall.
“I’m never going to be disappointed that we’re finding ways to have explosives when we had the opportunity to make plays,” DeBoer remarked. That constitutes a significant portion of our offense. We both practice and preach it. Observing that was enjoyable.
