Alabama football resumed practice on Wednesday, Oct. 31, at the Thomas Drew Practice Fields within the Mal Moore Athletic Complex in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide spent just under 90 minutes on the field, focusing on fundamentals and game‑plan tweaks as they head into the final month of the regular season.
Key Details of the Session
Coaches emphasized a balanced attack, with quarterback Jalen Milroe running a series of short‑pass and rushing drills. The practice featured both offensive and defensive units, allowing the team to fine‑tune its schemes before traveling to Baton Rouge.
Assistant coaches highlighted the importance of maintaining discipline in the secondary and improving third‑down efficiency, areas that have been critical in close games earlier this year.
Season Context
Alabama sits at 6‑2 overall and 4‑2 in SEC play, keeping its championship aspirations alive. The upcoming clash with No. 15 LSU is a de facto playoff‑elimination game; the Tigers also hold a 6‑2 record (3‑2 in conference). The two programs last met in 2024, when Alabama routed LSU 42‑13, powered by four rushing touchdowns from Milroe.
Following the practice, the team will depart for Baton Rouge, where kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC. Fans can watch the game live on the network or stream via the Tide 100.9 app.
