Second section:

• DeBoer: “Winning big games starts with enjoying the win, but not celebrating too much that the energy and emotion doesn’t carry over into the next week.”
• DeBoer asked what he enjoyed most about coaching at Alabama and living at Alabama. The family “really enjoyed the move here.” DeBoer also believes the people of Alabama “care.” DeBoer said he and his family have been overwhelmed by many things. DeBoer said he and his family have not been outside of Tuscaloosa together.

First section:

• Stewart asks DeBoer what the highlight of the game was. Stewart told him that it was then that DeBoer “introduced himself to the officers.” DeBoer said for him it was when Alabama suffered a knee at the end of the game.
• DeBoer said each game has its own meaning.
• “Proud of the way the guys came out and fought,” DeBoer said.
• DeBoer noted that Zabien Brown’s interception against Georgia was “not an easy play.”
• Stewart highlighted the block Jam Miller had to free Jalen Milroe for a rushing touchdown. DeBoer: “I just saw a helmet flying through the air. For a moment you weren’t sure who it was… That was quite a blow he dealt to the defender there.”
• DeBoer asked about things fans might have missed from the Georgia game, namely the guys who made big strides in the game. DeBoer mentioned both Jihaad Campbell’s and Domani Jackson’s interceptions. DeBoer also mentioned Kendrick Law and his blocks made him another notable guy.
• DeBoer was asked why Alabama didn’t use as much time between plays as it could have later in the game against Georgia. “Of course you can ask that question. … The way the game was going, 5.5 minutes with the two-minute warning and three timeouts … for me it was all about scoring.” DeBoer noted that Alabama would need five or six first downs. “The two-minute warning changed a lot.”
