After Alabama took its second loss of the season Saturday, an attempt is being made this week to tighten up the ship.
Tight end CJ Dippre said there is an emphasis on, "just tak[ing] pride in the small things," and elaborated on what that means around the facility.
"We got to just kind of take details and the small things," the senior said Tuesday. "Don't get bored with the basics. Get back to what we're supposed to wear -- shirts tucked in, five minutes, 10 minutes early to meetings. Not all this late stuff. Not doing what you want to do.
"Just little things like that carry over to the football field. Because then if you take one wrong step, one wrong thing, it just all carries over. So you got to act everything, all throughout the day. Going to class on time. Everything is like would want to do on the football field."
Alabama has been sliding on the field since the second quarter of the Georgia game Sept. 28, and has lost two games before November for the first time since 2007. Alabama has the seventh-most penalty yards per game (78.3) of any FBS team.
"[Coach Kalen DeBoer] knows that we have to do better," wide receiver Germie Bernard said Tuesday. "He's just gonna continue to instill in us the things that we need to do to be better, and to be better in practice. Be better off the field. Be more disciplined with the things we need off the field, like just making sure we're checking in on time, making sure we're getting to meetings on time. Things like that. With the mindset that he has, our team -- we still have everything in front of us that we want. I think we will accomplish that."
Bernard provided some more examples of what those "small things" are that Dippre mentioned. "Just be more disciplined in practice," Bernard said. "Hone in on the small details within the playbook. Word hard, executing. The off the field work, just continuing to lift hard, continue to recover right, continue to hydrate right. Continue to put the right things in your body with nutrition. When he talks about those things, those are the key components that we have to hone in on to be better."
it's not even Alabama's worst upset loss of all-timeThat has to be far from the worst SEC upset of all time.
