- Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer believes 'the world has not seen Bama's best yet'
Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer issued a challenge Monday morning, one that could also serve as a word of warning to the rest of the SEC.
"I challenged the guys, and they believe it, that the world has not seen Bama's best yet," DeBoer said.
It's simple, he said. But it's all the Crimson Tide needs coming off a stretch of four straight top-15 SEC wins against Georgia, Vanderbilt, Missouri and Tennessee, a stretch that put Alabama at No. 4 in the latest US LBM Coaches poll.
Simplicity is key, though, to DeBoer. Combine the rallying cry of proof with preparation and care for the bigger picture, Alabama has the right recipe for the edge DeBoer wants it to have especially as it goes on the road as a two-touchdown favorite against South Carolina.
"You always draw on the experiences, and the moment we're in right now, there is momentum," DeBoer said. "There's things that we're doing well. There's things that I know our guys have as far as goals, individually, as a team, that we haven't even come close to reaching yet. So, taking those experiences from the past, good and bad, that we've been through, understanding that it comes down to our preparation and just locking in what we can control."
Alabama kicks off against South Carolina at 2:30 p.m. CT Saturday, Oct. 25 on ABC.
