Brent Key did the most sweating in practice last week.
The third-year offensive line coach for Alabama had to deal with comments on his position group being “too soft” in wins over Louisville and Arkansas State; however, the 40-year-old adjusted everyone’s attitude as he got the performance he wanted against Mississippi.
Technique and physicality were stressed all week from Key, and for a defense in Ole Miss that national media was leaning toward, no one got pressure to Tua Tagovailoa. Behind his offensive line, the sophomore quarterback completed 73 percent of his throws (11 of 15) for 191 yards with two touchdowns passes.
