Kalen Deboer defended his decision to use a timeout in the waning seconds of Alabama’s loss to Oklahoma, stating that it was merely an effort to force the Sooners to run another play.


quote:

“I don’t know why you guys (referring to the press) are asking me about this. The only way to give my team a chance at victory at that point in the game was to force Oklahoma to run another kneel and hope for a fumbled snap. My job is to try to win”


quote:

The timeout drew criticism on social media from pundits and commentators as a disrespectful move to delay Oklahoma’s celebration.

An assassin that dons the black hoodie of death doesn't do the beta desperations.

As an Auburn fan/alumnus I feel the reporters questions are only another example of the sorry state of American journalism.
