Alabama Football: The two most recent spring practice sessions for the Crimson Tide have been in pads. Check out the main Tide thumpers so far.
In the old days of Alabama football, spring practices were grueling. They are no less intense today but the intensity does not last as long. There are no two-a-day practice schedules. The total number of sessions is limited to 15 and that includes two regular scrimmages and a third ‘glorified’ scrimmage presented as the A-Day game.
As Nick Saban said a couple of days ago, it takes the early practices in pads and at least one scrimmage before any accurate read on players.
