The calendar says Thursday, but this was a Monday for the Alabama football team. It officially began game-plan preparation for Louisville in the Sept. 1 opener with a practice structured like the ones Alabama typically has on Mondays.
What we saw:
-- This was a shorter-than-normal media viewing period.
-- Najee Harris was again in a black jersey working with head athletic trainer Jeff Allen instead of the running backs. This is the second straight day that was spotted. Saban previously said Harris was expected to be fine for the Louisville game.
-- Starting QB: Still TBD.
