Kalen DeBoer and Alabama football are gearing up to hit the road to take on the Oklahoma Sooners for the first time with both programs being in the SEC.
DeBoer and the Crimson Tide are continuing to fight for a spot in the College Football Playoff and a berth in the SEC Championship game. The Sooners are hoping to make a bowl game by picking up their six win of the season.
The Alabama head coach shined some light on how Alabama will prepare for Oklahoma on Monday.
“It’s going to take a great week of preparation,” DeBoer said. “A physical football team all around. Their defense is I think an extremely tough defense always just what they do with their scheme and then their personnel and the way they fly around. We’ll have to get ready for their offense with a couple of quarterbacks, potentially, just some skilled players. You look at the games they’ve played, a lot of close games going into the second half and even the fourth quarter. The Missouri game obviously was a crazy ending and some plays made both ways just in the final two minutes. Each and every game takes on its own life and for us, we’re focused on the next play and for us, the next game and everything that goes into being our best and that’s what our recipe for success has been here over the last month.”
Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CST for Alabama’s matchup with Oklahoma.
