PRACTICE REPORT: Football begins preparations for Wisconsin

PRACTICE+REPORT%3A+Football+begins+preparations+for+Wisconsin

            The temperature rose Friday afternoon as Alabama began its preparation for the season opener against the Wisconsin Badgers on Sept. 5 in Arlington, Texas. With just over a week left, Alabama started to create some scout teams and players. Here are some notes from the hot afternoon:

  • Running back Bo Scarborough wore No. 6 to portray Wisconsin’s Corey Clement. Clement, behind Heisman finalist Melvin Gordon, rushed for 949 yards and nine touchdowns last year.
  • Jake Coker got all first team snaps at quarterback and threw several deep balls. Behind Coker, Alec Morris seemed to get most of the second team snaps followed by David Cornwell.
  • Just as media began to leave Kirby Smart directed linebackers Reggie Ragland, Shaun Dion Hamilton, and Reuben Foster in drills against a scout-team offensive line.
