But can it be expected? This isn\u2019t nearly the first time Alabama has had trouble getting out of the garage under DeBoer. In his first loss as Alabama\u2019s coach in 2024, Vanderbilt took a 13-0 lead and held on, 40-35. Michigan ran out to a 16-0 first-quarter lead to beat UA in the ReliaQuest Bowl 19-13. Last year, Alabama\u2019s first-quarter play resulted in 7-0 deficits against Vanderbilt, Missouri and Georgia, along with 10-0 holes in both its games against Oklahoma.
