Alabama football its first game of the Kalen DeBoer era with a shutout, but one assistant coach was not satisfied.

The Crimson Tide’s defense created a sack, a few quarterback pressures, a few pass breakups, and two interceptions; however, Kane Wommack feels more should have been done. Alabama scored 63 points at Bryant-Denny Stadium versus Western Kentucky, yet none came on defense. Wommack appreciated the effort of defensive players flying to the football, but his expectation does not change. The 37-year-old wants turnovers and felt like more could have been created last week.

“The two takeaways we had early were positives, but I did not think we capitalized on takeaways as a defense,” Wommack said Monday.
