On Tuesday, Alabama football returned to practice as it prepares to face a different monster.

Mississippi State has lost its last three games under Mike Leach and its offense has struggled since its performance against Louisiana State University, but the Bulldogs could strike at any time. It has always been a program that plays Alabama tough and Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium will not be different. Even with Kylin Hill deciding to opt out of the season to prepare for the NFL Draft, Mississippi State has a lot of talent on offense. The cameras for Alabama Athletics heavily featured the Crimson Tide’s defensive line and outside linebackers, as both positions look to pressure and contain K.J. Costello in the pocket this weekend.

He has encountered a lot of problems since his outing versus LSU. Costello chimes in with 10 interceptions.

Alabama continues to prep for Mississippi State

With a defense that is improving, hopefully Alabama can create some turnovers.
