Practice notes

They're back. Year 12 of the Nick Saban era at Alabama took another step toward the Sept. 1 opener.

The first day of practice was Friday afternoon in a humid Tuscaloosa but there was at least some relief from an overcast sky. We'll get right into what we saw in the two-period media viewing period.

-- No quarterback emerged in the 14 minutes we saw.

-- Reading too much into anything would be a mistake but both Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa threw crisp passes in drills without defensive pressure.

A few good tidbits about practice.

And if you read further down, there's some good info coming out of interviews with Lupoi and Locksley.

I think we have a very young and promising coaching staff. We may get 2 solid  years out of them before they go to coach somewhere else. RTR!

Do we have anyone that can field punts yet?

I'm hearing good things about Butterfingers Baker.

Why worry about punts? I am just wondering? RTR!

Because last year that was a problem for Bama...

Ahha, we have some sure handed Receivers who field the punts I would think. RTR!

Word coming out of other forums is that Tua is blowing Hurts away in practice.

And a Tweet from former Bama safety Will Lowery:

Disclaimer: this is the first scrimmage of camp, and the only practice I’ve seen. But from what I watched today, I’ll be shocked if Tua isn’t day 1 starter, and it isn’t close. Don’t expect an announcement prior to opening kickoff tho..

No stats were provided but unofficial talk from guests who attended practice was Tua had 4 TD's and no int's. Hurts has 0 TD's and 3 int's. Everyone that claims to have been at the scrimmage have said Tua was the better QB and it was not close.

I cannot wait to see the offense with Tua at QB. I also feel bad for Hurts. He is a good guy, represents us well and won us a bunch of ball games. I hope he keeps his head up. If he is not QB1 I hope they find a way to get him some playing time.

Tua must really be putting on a show. RTR!
