The Crimson Tide defensive coordinator spent time with the media before this weekend's rivalry game.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack spent time in the Naylor Stone Media room inside the Mal Moore Athletic Facility on Monday. Wommack wrapped up Alabama's game against South Carolina and set up the Crimson Tide's trip to Knoxville."From a chance defensively to be explosive, we had 13 game changers. Twelve was our goal-- four takeaways, four sacks, three 3-and-outs, and then two 4th down stops, including a missed field goal.
"When you look at it, there certainly were some challenging things that USC presented for us, but particularly on third down there was a lack of execution on our part. Not putting our eyes in the right place, doing our job at a consistent level. So those are things that we've got to continue to do, and that's not just in pass coverage. Some of it was in pass rush.
"When you look at the game the other day, pleased to get the win, to be able to fight and battle. The way that our guys were fighting was special, to find a way to come up with an interception to win the game. We've got to do that twice now and those are always rewarding for a defense. They're always special moments, to be able to step up when it matters most, and certainly we were able to do that in the game. I think our guys have an appreciation for finding a way to win.
When you see the errors execution, does it cause you to pull back on what you'd like to call as the play caller? What do you think about the value of just simplicity versus throwing a bunch of wrinkles at the other team?
