They're back. Year 12 of the Nick Saban era at Alabama took another step toward the Sept. 1 opener.
The first day of practice was Friday afternoon in a humid Tuscaloosa but there was at least some relief from an overcast sky. We'll get right into what we saw in the two-period media viewing period.
-- No quarterback emerged in the 14 minutes we saw.
-- Reading too much into anything would be a mistake but both Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa threw crisp passes in drills without defensive pressure.
-- Outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings looked fresh leading the line of drills with his group.
