After watching Georgia secure back-to-back College Football Playoff National Championships, the Crimson Tide is hungry to get back on top. It started its offseason strength and conditioning program Friday to prepare for spring practice. The Tide released a video to Twitter of players training hard and coaches motivating them. Ha’Sean “HaHa” Clinton-Dix and Kevin Steele both appeared in the video, pushing players to their potential. Clinton-Dix, a former All-American safety, returns as the Director of Player Development. He helped Alabama to two BCS National Championships in 2011 and 2012. Steele is back for his third stint in Tuscaloosa as a defensive coordinator. The 64-year-old has experience at Alabama and across the Southeastern Conference.

Alabama knows it must disrupt Georgia’s momentum to reclaim the crown, and guys are putting in the work.
