Alabama incurs another loss at premier position following private suspension of upperclassmen

There's two positions you can never have enough of in football:
Pass rushers and corners.
And while Alabama is holding up well in the latter, following a season-ending injury to EDGE Que Robinson the same can't be said for the former.
Well, that only got worse on Monday when HC Kalen DeBoer announced the suspension of pass rusher Keanu Koht:
Alabama Suspends Keanu Koht for Undisclosed Reason
"He's suspended right now," DeBoer said when asked about Koht. "I'm not gonna get into length or anything like that, but he won't be with us this weekend."
The question was raised after Koht, who has played sparingly this season, but was available in every game, didn't make the trip to the Bayou against LSU. And while the Tide are already making plans to account for the loss in production, having depth and experience from a player like Koht would be valuable.
So what Koht did to garner such a response from Kalen DeBoer and the rest of the Alabama coaching staff is unknown, but one could assume it was pretty severe given the disciplinary questions that have surrounded the new regime in T town.
"With Que's [Robinson] injury, it is certainly determined now that he will be out for the remainder of the year, said DeBoer on Monday. "Unfortunately. Just a special, special person in every way. You hate to see a guy that pours so much into it go through what he's going through…
"…The one thing when I think about Que is not just what he is on the field, but pre-practice, he is mentoring, doing things for other guys. He just cares so much about the team. He just cares so much about this place. This is just something that sticks out on top of what you see on game days. Just a great person. He's poured a lot into this place."
