Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer Shuts Down Critics with Dominant Win Over Missouri
In a commanding performance, No. 15 Alabama dismantled No. 21 Missouri 34-0, showcasing their prowess on both sides of the ball at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Head coach Kalen DeBoer, often scrutinized following Alabama’s recent loss to Tennessee, proved his critics wrong by instilling a sense of discipline and intensity in his players, even with the game well in hand.
One notable moment came late in the fourth quarter when DeBoer was seen passionately chastising offensive tackle Miles McVay. The clip quickly went viral, with Alabama fans praising the coach for maintaining high standards and fiery motivation despite the overwhelming lead. Supporters took to social media to express their approval, reinforcing that DeBoer’s passion for the game is far from “soft,” as some had previously suggested.
“DeBoer is soft” is clearly a misconception, as fans celebrated his determination to keep the team focused. The victory marked a return to form for the Crimson Tide, who racked up 486 yards of offense compared to Missouri’s meager 239, and their defense made a statement with three interceptions against Tigers quarterback Drew Pyne.
After facing backlash, DeBoer and the Crimson Tide responded emphatically, sending a message that they are ready to compete at the highest level. This win not only silenced critics but also reinvigorated the fanbase, setting the stage for the remainder of the season.
