When Alabama football fans booed kicker Conor Talty during Saturday’s game against Eastern Illinois, it likely wasn’t entirely due to his shaky accuracy this season. After missing a kick against Oklahoma, Talty angrily shouted at long snapper David Bird.

Kalen DeBoer said after the game that he wished fans had Talty’s back. On Monday, he offered further clarity about the kicker’s relationship with his teammates.

“You’re human, right? People are gonna make mistakes,” DeBoer said. “I make mistakes. We all make mistakes. It’s the response in the things that he did. He made it right with his teammates. He talked to them, and that’s what we can do. We move on. We right the wrongs, and now we just focus on what we can do, and that’s go be your best. That’s what he does in practice.”
