Kalen DeBoer

DeBoer is done after about 11 minutes. You can check out all three press conferences on the BamaCentral YouTube page. Full transcripts will be published on the site shortly.

DeBoer says he love the way freshman OL Michael Carroll plays. "He plays hard, plays really hard."

Wisconsin is "rock solid" in rush defense according to DeBoer. He spokely highly of Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell is in his opening statement.

DeBoer says he feels very supported by Tim Keenan and appreciates the energy he brings to the team.

DeBoer says Jam Miller is "chomping at the bit" to get back on the field. He is "day-to-day." It ultimately will be a decision from the medical staff whether or not he is cleared because Miller is ready to be out there.

DeBoer says Alabama has a lot of confidence in freshman WR Lotzier Brooks.

DeBoer says it was great being at home and that the players could really feel the juice from the fans.

"Guys did a good job of taking everything we worked on during the week and transferred it to the game."

Kane Wommack- defensive coordinator

Wommack is done after about six minutes. DeBoer should be at the podium soon.

"I think Dre did some good things at the safety position the other night."

Wommack praises young inside linebacker QB Reese for contributing to two of the defense's three turnovers on Saturday.

"We had 12 TFLs with no sacks. I don't know if that's ever happened." Wommack says he needs to be better schematically in getting the quarterback to the ground.

Wommack says Alabama needs to have a great week of preparation as they get ready to face Wisconsin.

Wommack says the defense took a step in the right direction as far as effort and physicality, but he still thinks the "execution is not good enough."

Ryan Grubb- offensive coordinator

As always, Grubb is pretty quick. He's done after about seven minutes. Wommack should be at the podium shortly.

"I thought I wasn't hard enough on Ty... I told him I wouldn't make that mistake again."- Grubb on what he told Simpson after the first start and loss at Florida State.

Grubb says the biggest area of improvement in the offense was the way they practiced. "They played inspired, so I hope they keep that up."

Grubb says Kevin Riley has made the most out of his touches at the running back position.

Grubb says Ty Simpson's biggest area of improvement was in decision making.

Grubb says he "100 percent" sees right tackle being a competition with true freshman Micahel Carroll.

"I expected both of them to play well."- Grubb on the backup QBs

• Ryan Grubb came up to the podium first week one. It was Kane Wommack week two. Let's see who it is this week.
