After his outburst at the end of Alabama's 40-35 loss to Vanderbilt, DeBoer said "we have handled" Moore, who he said has "gone above and beyond in owning, taking ownership (of) it" including an "unprompted" apology he posted on social media.

Alabama defensive back and team captain Malachi Moore apologized in a social media post after losing his temper in the waning moments of the Crimson Tide's shocking 40-35 loss to Vanderbilt. Moore was visibly agitated on the field and drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the Tide's first loss to the Commodores since 1984.
