Alabama football players are excited to play under Kalen DeBoer in year two. DeBoer decided to take on a tall task over a year ago when he accepted the head football coaching job at the University of Alabama after Nick Saban retired.

Speaking Wednesday at SEC Media Days in Atlanta, the second-year Alabama head coach addressed the Crimson Tide’s ongoing quarterback battle, offering early impressions of returning veteran Ty Simpson, as well as young talents Keelon Russell and Austin Mack.
