The Alabama football will get a short break now that fall camp scrimmages are behind them. Finishing up mid-afternoon on Saturday, the team will get more than 48 hours of rest before returning to practice Monday night.
The break has been earned. For more than two weeks the team has battled heat, fatigue and injuries. As Nick Saban said after Saturday’s scrimmage, no one is 100 percent right now. The admission did not carry with it any reduced expectations. Saban was clear in demanding 100 percent effort applied to whatever percentage was in their bodies.
The Alabama football head coach was also careful in Saturday.
