## Resource

Alabama’s kicking battle is heating up as Conor Talty and Lorcan Quinn battle for the starting spot, with head coach Kalen DeBoer praising both for their talent but highlighting Talty’s inconsistency and Quinn’s SEC adjustment challenge. Talty, who made 16 of 23 last year, is working on mental steadiness, while Quinn, a Gaelic footballer from Ireland with a strong Marshall record, brings distance and accuracy — but needs to adapt to SEC pressure. With preseason camp looming and the season opener just weeks away, fans are watching closely as the coach insists both can deliver when it matters most.
