TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — This isn’t the way it was supposed to happen.
Sure, former University of Alabama running back Alvin Kamara was looking forward to finally playing a game in Bryant-Denny Stadium, but not like this. Not with his former teammates and himself mourning the loss of a friend.
Kamara has been trying to treat this week like it was any other, even though it clearly isn't, but that became impossible after the death of Altee Tenpenny, one the running backs he practiced alongside for a year.
When asked about his former Crimson Tide colleague who died in a car accident on Tuesday, Kamara teared up.
