Alabama opened fall camp with a morning practice, for anybody keeping track of every little change from Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer.
It’s going to be a hot topic for a while, after all.
The Crimson Tide’s first practice Wednesday came a month to the day before DeBoer’s debut Aug. 31 against Western Kentucky. And it was completed before lunch, a departure from Saban’s normal afternoon practices.
It’s hardly the most notable change from life under a coach who added six national championships to Alabama’s coffers. Just one example of the adjustments after 17 seasons under Saban.
DeBoer, meanwhile, is still acclimating to summer Alabama weather after coming from Washington.
