Wommack Not Concerned with Lack of Interceptions

On Tuesday, Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb explained that Ty Simpson was named the starter because he takes care of the football. Grubb then shared that Alabama has only thrown four interceptions so far in fall camp.

"We've thrown like four total this camp, and this spring, I think, at this time, we'd thrown like 15," Grubb said. "I think in general, guys are seeing the concepts and controlling the offense a lot better as a room, and Ty was the best at that."

While it's a positive for the offense, it can cause concerns on the defensive side of the ball. Is Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack concerned about the lack of interceptions for his secondary?

"I think our offense is doing a fantastic job of taking care of the football," Wommack said. "It was an emphasis coming out of last season that we had to do a better job as a team, taking care of the football and creating takeaways.

Certainly, we were able to do that a year ago. They're making it more difficult on us. When the bullets are flying, and it's live, and you can affect a quarterback, that's always the indication of how we'll do. So, I feel good about where we are defensively."
