Alabama Crimson Tide

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The University of Alabama football team opened spring workouts on Friday afternoon, with the first of 15 practices including A-Day at Bryant-Denny Stadium on April 16.

Alabama's practice was outside on the Hank Crisp Fields. Conditions with partly cloudy and 73 degrees, with a slight wind. The workout beat a weather front coming through the area that would bring rain and drop the temperature to near freezing overnight.
