Spring practice: 10 positions, 10 questions
Alabama’s first spring practice is in the books. Given the way the 2018 season ended, there will probably be greater fan scrutiny on 2019 spring practices than in recent years.
Here’s our look at 10 key positions headed into spring, which could see more shuffling of personnel than expected given the turnover in position assistant jobs and the new perspective first-year assistants might bring to their evaluations.
Oklahoma wrap-up: Bama put this one away ‘Sooner’ than expected
December 30, 2018 Comments Off on Oklahoma wrap-up: Bama put this one away ‘Sooner’ than expected
Statistically, a person who didn’t watch this game would look at the numbers and suggest Alabama and Oklahoma were evenly matched teams, which is understandable.
