The Alabama football team held their annual spring game this afternoon, where the White team won A-Day.
Many vital players from the 2020 championship team will no longer be with the program, so this scrimmage is a way for fans and media members to see what the new roster will look like.
Paul Tyson, a redshirt sophomore quarterback, was throwing passes for the Crimson team.
On an interception thrown by Tyson, picked off by Kristian Story, players went running to make a tackle and set blocks.
Head coach Nick Saban, who was standing behind the line of scrimmage, got tangled up and nearly taken out by his own players.

Saban made light of it, as he cracked some jokes at the press conference after the scrimmage.
Nick Saban on being part of interception return: “If they run into me, it’s very similiar to running into the goal post. So it’s not a good choice and decision for them. They usually avoid me. I wear a [pink jacket] so they can see me for their safety, not mine."
