A historic blowout nearly turned into a historic collapse for Alabama. No matter how the win happened, we learned a lot about DeBoer.

It was a pretty obvious missed call. Just before halftime on Saturday, right in front of Alabama football head coach Kalen DeBoer, Georgia’s Daniel Harris blanked Crimson Tide receiver Germie Bernard, preventing him from making a third-down catch.

There is no world in which finding a replacement for Nick Saban at Alabama was going to be an easy job — or one that many would jump at. Not that the Alabama job isn’t desirable, but following someone like Saban is an impossible ask. Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer jumped at the chance, anyways, with the support of Saban.
