阿拉巴马大学后卫柯克帕特里克10月24日因违反队规被停赛 无缘对阵得州农机
10月24日，阿拉巴马大学橄榄球队后卫小德雷·柯克帕特里克因违反队规被停赛，无缘当天在塔斯卡卢萨主场对阵得州农机队的比赛。球队发言人向《塔斯卡卢萨新闻》证实了这一决定，柯克帕特里克的名字出现在10月24日公布的东南联盟最终出场名单上，状态为缺席。比赛于当天下午2时30分在萨班球场布莱恩特-丹尼体育场开球，由美国广播公司转播。
这名三年级后卫本赛季已出战7场比赛，贡献5次擒抱、1次破坏传球和1次制造掉球。值得一提的是，柯克帕特里克去年曾因驾车相关指控被球队无限期停赛，此后重返赛场。本场比赛阿拉巴马队共有10名球员缺席，球队在连负佐治亚与田纳西之后，急需一场胜利止住颓势。
停赛风波给本就人员吃紧的防守组再添变数，主教练卡伦·德波尔赛前并未公开停赛的具体原因与期限，球队方面也未说明他何时能够归队。

Alabama DB Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. Suspended for Rules Violation, Out Against Texas A&M
On October 24, Alabama cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. was suspended for a violation of team rules and ruled out of that day's home game in Tuscaloosa against Texas A&M. A team spokesman confirmed the decision to The Tuscaloosa News, and Kirkpatrick appeared as "out" on the SEC's final availability report released October 24. The game kicked off at 2:30 p.m. at Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium and was televised by ABC.
The junior defensive back has played in seven games this season, recording five tackles, one pass breakup and one forced fumble. Kirkpatrick was indefinitely suspended last year over a driving-related charge before returning to the team. Alabama had 10 players listed as out for the game, and the team was looking to stop a slide after consecutive losses to Georgia and Tennessee.
The suspension adds another variable to an already thin defense. Head coach Kalen DeBoer did not publicly disclose the reason for or length of the suspension before the game, and the team gave no timetable for Kirkpatrick's return.
