The Alabama Football will have its first of three spring scrimmages Saturday afternoon in Bryant-Denny. The format is similar to a game situation with no coaches on the field during plays. Rather than structured like an actual game, it will primarily be situational work planned in advance by the coaches. The Crimson Tide worked in shells Thursday preparing for the scrimmage.
After a few days in pads, the Crimson Tide players get an opportunity Saturday to not only hit but showcase their ability to perform positional tasks. A starting role for next fall is not won in a single spring scrimmage.
