TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama soccer hosted its first follow of the week on Monday afternoon, with the group training for one hour on the Thomas-Drew Follow Fields.

The gamers wore shells (helmets, shoulder pads and shorts) all through the period of the follow. Concerning climate situations, temperatures have been within the low-70s Fahrenheit with sunny skies and winds blowing 12 m.p.h. to the south-southeast.

The Crimson Tide is coming off of its first lack of the season, a 52-49 loss by the hands of Tennessee in Knoxville. In the meantime, Alabama’s subsequent opponent in Mississippi State is coming off of a lack of their very own: a 27-17 defeat at Kentucky.

Earlier within the day on Monday, Alabama head coach Nick Saban met with reporters and gave his ideas on the group’s upcoming sport towards the Bulldogs.

“Mississippi State’s an impressive group,” Saban mentioned. “I believe they’re 5-2. Mike Leach is among the most tough guys offensively to attempt to defend relative to their offense. The quarterback, Will Rogers, does a fantastic job of that. They’re one of many main passing groups within the nation. They have a great receiving corps. I believe they’re operating the ball extra successfully this yr than possibly in years previous.

“Their protection could be very aggressive, create lots of turnovers, do lots of pressuring the quarterback. They’re good on particular groups. They have good specialists so it will be a difficult sport for us. And we’ll see how our gamers reply to the state of affairs that we have created for ourselves.”
