During an interview with Roger Hoover on the Crimson Tide Sports Network, Alabama linebacker Deontae Lawson reflected on the team’s shocking 40-35 loss to Vanderbilt, one of the major upsets of the 2024 season. This loss came just a week after Alabama’s stellar victory against Georgia, which was their most significant win of the season.
Lawson shared that he believed the team’s lack of intensity during the preparation week contributed to their downfall against Vanderbilt. He emphasized that maintaining high energy and focus throughout the week is crucial for success on game day. “I don’t feel like we had the same intensity as we did against Georgia,” Lawson stated. “That week, that preparation. That’s what we need to love. It’s not Saturday. It’s the preparation leading up to Saturday. If you attack that hard, the game is just gonna flow right to you. When everyone gets that mindset, and we will, we’ll be alright.”
This introspective look into Alabama’s preparation highlights the importance of consistent effort and dedication in achieving success in competitive sports.
