His first hostile road trip as a first-year head coach for Alabama was at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn.
Kalen DeBoer experienced the passionate atmosphere of a Southeastern Conference fanbase. Tennessee and its fans wanted that matchup so much that was impossible for the Crimson Tide to hear on the field. Alabama had 15 penalties for a loss of 115 yards and turned the ball over twice in its 17-24 loss to the Volunteers. A highly disappointed DeBoer spoke to the media after the game.
Tennessee was crazy, yet Alabama is about to travel to arguably the most chaotic environment in college football.
