Photos From Alabama Football's Wednesday Practice

The Crimson Tide hit the practice field on the first official day of the fall semester.

The Alabama Crimson Tide hit the practice field on Wednesday as brutal temperatures ravaged Tuscaloosa. It was the first official day of classes but Nick Saban complimented the players for not making that a distraction at today's practice.

"I will say this about the team: I told them last night, I said, ‘I know tomorrow is your first day of college – I’m talking about college, everybody." said Saban. "You’re going to college tomorrow.’ So most of the time, that really impacts the quality of practice that we have, but that wasn’t the case today. They were focused in practice and they were ready to go."

Today's featured athletes photographed were the trio of quarterbacks, Jalen Milroe, Ty Simpson and Tyler Buchner. Select defensive backs and a nice shot of center James Brockermeyer driving an opponent off the line.

It was Alabama's 17th practice of the fall camp session as Alabama prepares to host the MTSU Blue Raiders in Bryant-Denny Stadium on Sept. 2 at 6:30 p.m.

This was the final edition of fall camp practice photos and the final time hearing from Coach Saban before Alabama embarks on its initial game week next Monday.

Saban will begin his normal in-season media schedule next Monday at noon.
