Listed below are a couple of notes.
-Coach Saban was pleased with Mac Jones’ performance in last week’s game-like practice.

–Jahquez Robinson, a true freshman, was involved in the drill too.
-Alabama’s offensive line worked the sled in center/guard and guard/tackle pairings.
-The duo of DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle had wide receivers perform blocking techniques.
-On the defensive line, Freddie Roach’s group handled the sled.
