Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer met with reporters following the Tide’s 20-17 loss to Georgia on Saturday night.
Alabama had an opportunity to tie the game or even take the lead late, but squandered opportunities on both sides of the ball.

After the game, DeBoer took accountability, saying Alabama shouldn’t have put itself in a position to rely on the officials:

There was still enough time for Alabama to potentially get the ball back for one final drive until cornerback Dijon Lee committed a personal foul penalty to give the Bulldogs an automatic first down.
In his postgame press conference, DeBoer said Alabama lacked “emotional maturity” in the closing minutes against Georgia.
