TUSCALOOSA – The Alabama football team practiced in full pads for about two hours on Sunday afternoon outdoors under cloudy skies on the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields.
Only two practices remain before the holiday break for the Crimson Tide. Sunday represented the fifth of seven bowl practices before the holidays and 11 prior total practices before the College Football Playoff Semifinal in Arlington, Texas.
Alabama and Michigan State will meet in a pairing of conference champions for the 2015 Goodyear Cotton Bowl at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The game is scheduled for a 7:10 p.m. CT kickoff on ESPN with the trio of Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Heather Cox calling the game.
