It’s been nearly a month since Alabama’s Iron Bowl loss to Auburn, a game marked by communication issues along the Crimson Tide offensive line, according to center Bradley Bozeman.

The team is moving forward with a Sugar Bowl College Football Playoff semifinal against Clemson on tap in less than two weeks. Bozeman said all of the Alabama players are trying their best to get better.

“You pick up what you did bad, try to fix it, try to correct it,” he said during a recent visit with reporters posted by Charlie Potter of 247Sports. “You let it motivate you a little bit. You don’t dwell on it, but you definitely don’t forget about it.”

Bozeman said he’s been running and lifting weights in recent weeks, with a little bit of practice, to stay in the groove.

At a recent awards banquet, Bozeman was among four players named permanent team captains. That honor means he will have his hands and cleats pressed in cement near the Denny Chimes on campus before the A-Day game in the spring.

“That’s been one of my dreams ever since I was a little kid,” Bozeman said.” Whenever they called my name, it was really an honor for my teammates to nominate me as one of the team captains, one of the guys who leads this team. It’s really special for me.”

Bozeman was a finalist for the Rimington Award given to the nation’s most outstanding center.

Bozeman is in his second year at starting center, and has a grade of 85.6 percent with 16 knockdown blocks. He has opened holes for the No. 10 rushing offense in the nation at 265.3 yards per game, while allowing only two sacks in 724 snaps.
