Kane Wommack identifies defensive communication issues following Alabama victory

Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack plans to address secondary communication errors following the team's 48-10 win over East Carolina. Although the Crimson Tide defense held the Pirates to 162 total yards, a miscommunication between Bray Hubbard and Zabien Brown allowed a 68-yard pass from Mitch Griffis to Tyler Johnson. Wommack acknowledged that he failed to put his players in the best position during that specific sequence. The coordinator noted that opponent coaching staffs will likely utilize similar empty sets and vertical concepts on film to test the unit in future games. Alabama recorded multiple sacks and a defensive touchdown in the season-opening performance. Wommack emphasized the importance of correcting the coverage breakdown to prepare for upcoming SEC competition.
