Spring football starts next Friday at the University of Alabama.
Nick Saban is trying to repeat as a national champion for the first time since 2011-12. He is losing great players to the upcoming NFL Draft, but he signed his best freshmen class ever and has veterans returning. After not having spring practice in 2020, the Crimson Tide and its fans will have an uninterrupted offseason to evaluate the team. Despite the talent it has, Alabama has some questions to answer on offense and defense. As he hunts for the eighth national title of his coaching tenure, Saban is prepared to locate the best athletes on the field and put them in a position to have success.
