Spring Practice

In recent years,Alabama may have become defensive back U.  However, this season the Crimson Tide will have plenty of work to do in order to live up to that standard. Alabama's defensive backs will certainly take a hit this season with the loss of Dee Milliner...

In years past Alabama's linebacking corps has been good. In 2013, it has the potential to be elite. On paper, everything seems to be in place. The Tide returns its top two tacklers from last season in CJ Mosley and Trey DePriest in addition to one of the team's best pass rushers in Adrian Hubbard, who after a slow start finished off the season with three sacks in the final three games...

In Nick Saban’s defense it’s probably the most underrated position. Think back to the SEC championship game when Jesse Williams was out of the game with a knee injury and Brandon Ivory was also nicked up. Remember the way Georgia was able to move the ball at will, gashing Alabama with Todd Gurley right up the middle time and time again...

The University of Alabama football team went through its second practice of the spring on Monday in shorts and helmets for roughly two hours inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Practice Facility. The Crimson Tide returns 13 starters from last year’s national championship team, but competition for a role on the 2013 team is intense as newcomers and returners look to make their mark...

The University of Alabama football team began spring practice on Saturday afternoon with a two-hour workout in shorts and helmets on the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields. “The main objective to me for spring practice is to focus on player improvement,” Alabama head coach Nick Saban said on Saturday...

In the National Football League, the tight end is becoming extinct.  Come to think of it, in college football, the tight end is becoming a rarity as well-except at Alabama. The position has become on of the most important in the Alabama offense in recent years with the threat of pass catchers like Collin Peak and Brad Smelly wreaking havock on opposing defenses with size and speed...

Nick Saban shocked plenty in the college football world.  No, not with another top ranked, recruiting class-that has become the norm for the Crimson Tide.  Rather, Saban attracted plenty of attention with his signing of four running backs in the 2013 signing class...

Hot and cold. Unfortunately this is not just the name of a Katy Perry song, but it has also be a resemblance of the Tuscaloosa weather lately-leaving me with a terrible head cold over the past few days. However, if there is anything that can brighten anyone’s spirits, it is the prospect of Alabama football and spring practice 8 days away...
