Alabama coach DeBoer lauds Georgia quarterback after 20-17 loss

Sports

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer praised Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton’s performance but said missed officiating calls and several injuries hampered his team in the 20-17 loss on October 8, 2026. DeBoer’s comments followed a season that began with a 56-23 rout of Mississippi State, where Alabama limited Bulldogs quarterback Kamario Taylor and quarterback Keelon Russell threw four touchdown passes. Russell, who had struggled after a turnover-laden road debut, showed rapid statistical improvement in subsequent games, helping the Crimson Tide enhance its rushing attack and remain undefeated at 5-0, positioning the program as a national title contender.
