TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama football team practiced for two-hours in full pads Tuesday afternoon at the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields.
"We have a lot of things that we can improve on," head coach Nick Saban said. "That is certainly the focus of what we want to do in this week with the bye. Each player has something that he can improve on and we want him to focus on that, whether it be technique, conditioning or a better understanding of assignments."
The Crimson Tide players have used the bye week to evaluate their performance from the first eight games of the season, while the coaches have set time aside to prepare for upcoming game plans against teams with different offensive and defensive styles than Alabama has seen so far.
Alabama will hold two more practices this week on Wednesday and Thursday. Players will work out individually on Friday before getting the weekend off and beginning preparations for LSU on Monday.
