Rain brought cooler temperatures on Monday, as the Crimson Tide started work for Texas A&M outdoors.

In coming off a bye week, Alabama faces the challenge of defending a dual threat quarterback — Kellen Mond — and a crop of very talented receivers. Nick Saban mentioned in his opening statement that discipline and playing to a ‘quality standard’ will be important this week.

He also updated local reporters on injuries to Chris Owens (knee) and Will Reichard (hip) and stated that Owens is the most ‘questionable’ for the matchup.

Listed below are a couple of notes from practice.
