All signs are pointing to the University of Alabama having spring football.
The Coronavirus pandemic canceled spring activities last year, but Crimson Tide will have an everyday game this year.
According to reports, the spring showdown is scheduled for Saturday, April 17 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. When it comes to time and network, none of these details have been discussed. After winning a national college football playoff championship in 2020, Tide fans want to see the program repeat itself as champions for the first time since 2011 and 2012.
The competition of defenders is one of the exciting issues.
Mac Jones led the team to a national title, but the future now lies with Bryce Young, Paul Tyson or Jalen Milroe.
Along with that, Tide has to replace a full-back striker, two full-back striker holders and three offensive line holders. He lost Steve Sarkisian to Texas Longhorns, but Alabama found its next offensive player in Bill O’Brien. Nick Saban also hired a new running back coach (Robert Gillespie), offensive line coach (Doug Marrone) and tight end coach / special team coordinator (Jay Graham). Defensively, the idea is to recover the dominant style of play that made the team successful.
Everyone is excited about the practice of spring.
