Kalen DeBoer is making a point to fix this area for 2025 with Alabama football
Alabama football never lost at home in coach Kalen DeBoer’s first season in Tuscaloosa.
The same can’t be said for the road.
The Crimson Tide finished 9-4 in 2024, and that includes losses to Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Michigan away from Bryant-Denny Stadium. The loss to the Wolverines occurred in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
“Being on the road and playing better on the road has certainly got to be a point that happens this year in our program,” DeBoer said Wednesday at SEC Media Days.
Alabama won’t have to wait long to improve in its road-game endeavors. The Crimson Tide kickoff its season in Tallahassee against Florida State on Aug. 30.
“We know that they’re going to have something to prove, as well,” DeBoer said. “That’s going to be a great environment to get tested early on. We don’t need to look anything beyond that as far as our preparation or what might lie because none of it matters unless we take care of business and do what we’re doing, being our best in that week one game against Florida State.”
