Thursday afternoon was full pads and high heat for Alabama football. As Nick Saban admitted later, this is the grind week of fall camp. After a Friday practice, the Alabama Crimson Tide players have a Saturday scrimmage. For many players, the scrimmage performance will the best chance to grab a spot in the two-deep. There will be another week of fall camp sessions before game week as players continue to compete for spots.
Once the regular routine of Alabama football practices begins, moving into the two-deep from below is much harder. One change occurred on Thursday. New freshman, Ale Kaho worked in full pads for the first time.
