The Crimson Tide will hold their Annual A-Day Game on Saturday at 2:00pm CT. It is the fifteenth and final spring practice for Alabama. The past and future will come together as a large contingent of alumni as well as many recruits will be on hand for the event.
Alabama is celebrating Nick Saban's 10th spring in Tuscaloosa. Several former Crimson Tide greats, current NFL stars, and former team captains from the Saban era will be recognized.
Alabama's Heisman Trophy winners Mark Ingram and Derrick Henry will be present as the Heisman Trophy Trust will present Alabama with the program's copy of Henry's 2015 Heisman Trophy. In addition, the halftime entertainment will feature the Alabama Quarterback Challenge with former Crimson Tide signal-callers from the last 10 years. Some of the QBs participating will include Jake Coker, Blake Sims, and John Parker Wilson.
If you are unable to attend, the game will be televised on ESPN with Joe Tessitore and Kirk Herbstreit calling the action. Unfortunately, Joey Galloway will be with them as well.
