I was impresed with #20 Cameron Latu (redshirt freshman). He was a 2018 DE recruit, but played Saturday at TE. He played well. He may be another Jacobs-like surprise! We need a TE who can beat LB coverage, and Latu seems like the right guy. He's big and fast. Woot!

We sent about half as many as we sent for games last Fall and don’t think we sold even half of those. We saw maybe a few dozen people in Bama gear in the store after the game, where after real games we’d have the dining room and drive-thru packed out for two hours or more after. Without watching the game or hearing attendance numbers Oncould tell that no one was there.

https://collegesportsmaven.io/alabama/bamacentral/did-alabama-achieve-its-biggest-goal-of-spring-football--8Z8RdZsK0eJsMfLMehpBw/ “The number-one goal and objective for the spring is we have to re-establish the Alabama factor,” Coach Saban said following the A-Day Game. Those who hadn’t been around the Crimson Tide coach for long were a little surprised by the statement. “It isn’t a slogan,” he said while bristling at the suggestion during a different spring press conference. “I didn’t come up with it. It’s been who I am for the last 27-some years. It’s been who we are ever since we’ve been here. You could ask someone who played on the first, second team here that went 12-0 and lost in the SEC Championship Game and they could recite and tell you exactly what that is. So it’s not a slogan. It’s really what the program’s built on.” So what exactly is it? Ask a young player and you might not get much of an answer. Relentless pursuit of excellence would be an oversimplification, especially when trying to pinpoint an intangible ideal as a guiding principle.
