DeBoer says he challenged the players to watch other games this week and learn from them.

"We've got to be resilient... You've got to do it. Nobody else is going to go do it for you."- DeBoer on playing on the road.

"Whatever we've asked of this group, they've been so coachable."- DeBoer says.

Kalen DeBoer arrives at the podium at 11:54.

As always, Grubb was swift during his media time. It lasted less than four minutes.

Grubb says Jam Miller is someone the offense can lean on for leadership.

"Early execution is always key."

"Always good to get the run game going.... Alleviates the pressure on Ty Simpson."- Grubb

Grubb arrives to the podium at 11:50.

Wommack wraps up after about 12 minutes. Grubb will be up next.

"Whatever we emphasize, we tend to get from our players."- Wommack says. They have really emphasized playing better on the road with more juice and a better response to adversity. "I expect to see a really responsive football on Saturday."

Wommack says Tim Keenan will play against Georgia. He has missed the first three games with an ankle injury.

Wommack says the road performance is on the forefront of everyone's minds. "When adversity comes, we're ready to go."

Wommack says the game at Georgia and entering SEC play will really show how much the defense has improved in pass rushing or not.

Wommack is very complimentary of Georgia quarterback Gunnar Stockton.

Wommack says Alabama is "excited about the opponent." He acknowledges that Alabama has to be better at responding to adversity on the road, and this game is a great opportunity for that.
