Nick Saban explains issues with Alabama's punting game

Punting hasn't been a concern at Alabama in recent years.

While there have been a few adventures in place kicking, the non-scoring transfer of possession has been among its greatest strengths.

Now, with two-time Ray Guy Award finalist JK Scott a Green Bay Packer, things have slipped a bit. True freshman Skyler DeLong has punted it 15 times for an average of 35.9 yards per attempt.

"The things about Skyler is he's been a lot better in practice and done a good job in practice and actually had a really good week in practice last week," Saban said.
