TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama football scrimmaged inside Bryant-Denny Stadium for its annual A-Day spring football finale on Saturday. The Crimson Tide spent two hours with the offense and defense fighting for dominance in the April sun.

The afternoon wasn't exactly a game, but looked more like real football than the 2025 A-Day and therefore gave fans and pundits quality content to evaluate.

"I thought the guys competed again," Kalen DeBoer said. "It's a unique situation with our practices, two of them still being next week, so we're not done yet. Get back to work Tuesday and Thursday, still got a lot of opportunities to get better, a lot of situational that we can get to. But it was a good back and forth, much like many of the other scrimmages; you can see how we orchestrate it with the ball where we spot it. There's some advantages the offense gets towards the end. We've got to get that red zone work in, but there's a lot of things to learn, a lot of situational stuff that we can get better at."
