After two weeks of workouts following the Iron Bowl, Alabama football now prepares for Kansas State.

The Crimson Tide will start practices for the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Friday. Coach Nick Saban is scheduled to address reporters after practice at 6:00 p.m. CT. Alabama will have seven practices before heading to Caesars Superdome (New Orleans, La.) to battle the Wildcats in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Eve at 11:00 a.m. CT. Kansas State is coming off a Big 12 Championship victory over Texas Christian University. It suffered three losses this season, but the Wildcats look to give the Tide a challenge.
