The Crimson Tide defensive coordinator saw his unit pitch a shut out in the season opener.
The Alabama Crimson Tide defense pitched a shutout in the season opening win over Western Kentucky. Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Kane Wommack didn't meet with the media after the game, but didn't spend time in the Naylor Stone Media room on Monday to talk about his unit's performance and set up the upcoming game against South Florida.Opening statement...
We also were able to affect the quarterback and pass rush. We hit him early in the game and I think that paid dividends as we started taking the ball away and getting off the field on third downs. Then also as you got going, we didn't get a number of sacks as the game went but I thought we affected him. I think we had maybe four past breakups coming from the D-Line, guys getting their hands on the ball, tip balls in the area as well.
I think players that showed through fall camp that they could be trusted — that they were, what we call, above the line, to be able to go in during meaningful snaps during the game. There were younger players that we knew might make mistakes, but they needed to be able to work through those mistakes.
There’s a lot of things we’re asking that guy to do, and I think Qua is a well-rounded individual. He’s gifted from a physical standpoint in terms of his ability to run. He can make space tackles. He can also set an edge at the point of attack. His versatility, coupled with the way he was able to handle our scheme and all the things we were going to try to do against Western Kentucky, I thought he was very impressive in the first game.
