Alabama Crimson Tide

The Alabama football team began its final week of spring practices with a two-hour workout in full pads Tuesday on the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields.

The Crimson Tide will hold its final practice of spring on Thursday, in preparation for Saturday's A-Day scrimmage.

The A-Day game will be the only time fans and media get to see the team this spring.

"I think there’s a lot of stuff for us to clean up," junior quarterback Bryce Young said. "We didn’t have our sharpest scrimmage this past weekend. A lot of that is on me. I think that spring is a time for us to kind of iron out the kinks and for us to grow and get better.

"You’re always going to come into obstacles. I think we know that. At the same time, we can’t be complacent. We can’t be OK with any shortcomings that we have. I’m excited for A-Day. Super excited this weekend again. Another chance to compete. A chance for the fans to come in, and whenever we get that support from the community and the fans, it means the world to us. I am super excited for this week of practice, for us to try to try to iron out some of the kinks and to expand on things we haven’t been doing positively, and for this weekend, A-Day, for us to try to put on a display for you guys and for us to go out and compete."
