Observations from All 19 Practice Periods of Alabama A-Day
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— Alabama football showcased a new style of A-Day Saturday on Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The teams were just split into offense and defense with the offense wearing crimson and the defense wearing white.
There didn’t appear to be a lot of fan excitement for this new format. There were no fans in the upper bowl, and the lower bowl of Bryant-Denny was about half full.
The Crimson Tide alternated between scrimmaging and drills for 19 periods of work to wrap up Kalen DeBoer’s second spring as the Alabama head coach. Here are some observations from each period.
