And then there were none.
The University of Alabama football team completed its third and final two-a-day practice of Fall Camp yesterday. The morning session began at 9:30 a.m. CT in full pads on the Drew-Thomas Practice Fields. The second session began at 7:30 p.m. with the Tide working in shells. Bama has now completed half of its allotted 28 practice sessions prior to the kickoff of the 2016 football season.
Linebacker Keith Holcombe, who had missed some practice time last week, didn't participate in all drills yesterday.
Cornerback Kendall Sheffield wasn't seen during the media viewing period for the second consecutive practice.
The Crimson Tide will open with the University of Southern California on Saturday, September 3rd. Alabama will enter the contest ranked No. 1 in the nation. USC is ranked No. 17. The Tide and the Trojans square off in the AdvoCare Classic inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas with a start time of 7 p.m. on the ABC Network.
It's back to single practice sessions beginning today, then classes at the university are scheduled to begin tomorrow. Alabama's second scrimmage of the Fall Camp is scheduled for Saturday inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.
