  • Deciding to go for it or not on fourth down is always an interesting dilemma in the flow of a football game.

    The Alabama Crimson Tide were one of the best at it last season in terms of percentage with them converting five of their seven attempts. However, Alabama’s new head coach Kalen DeBoer and Washington went for it on fourth down by more than triple the Tide’s amount last season with them converting 14 of their 22 attempts.

    DeBoer offered some insight into how Alabama will make those decisions this season during his Thursday press conference.
