Players Eager for Fall

Leaving for a few precious weeks off from the football fields for summertime distractions is something most players look forward to. But players at Alabama are eager to get things started again.

So why such excitement? According to both players and coaches it's the feeling of unfinished business and the need for this team to go the next step.

"I was proud of what we accomplished last year. Being part of a team that took Alabama back to the SEC championship game and in the hunt for a national title was special, but this is a new season and a new team. I think this team knows it can be something special and that is making everything we do so important. I can't wait to see how good we can be." said linebacker Rolando McClain.

Every fan in America knows Alabama will bring back one of the nation's top defenses, but many didn't expect the "new" offense to look as good as they did on A Day. They can quit holding their breath, they looked just fine.
