Top storylines to follow on the defensive side of the ball as Nick Saban and the Alabama football team begin spring practice!

Last Monday, [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide football team began spring practice in Tuscaloosa.

Over the course of five weeks, Alabama will complete 14 practices and will conclude the spring activities with the annual A-Day Game on Saturday, April 22 from inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

With each new season, position battles and question marks take center stage and 2023 will be no different.

Coach Saban not only has a lot of new faces on the roster, but a ton of new coaches will also be making their Alabama debuts in 2023.

As spring practice gets underway, let’s take a look a look some of the top storylines on each side of the ball. We have already looked at the offensive side of the ball, so now we will shift our focus to the defense.

It has been a month since [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide took the field against an opponent and now we are just five days away from the Allstate Sugar Bowl matchup with the Kansas State Wildcats.

Both Alabama and Kansas State enter the matchup with 10 wins on the season, except one program is having one of the best seasons in school history, while the other has the taste of disappointment.

I expect both teams to be excited to show up on Saturday and try to make a statement for both the pride of their programs and their respected conferences.

Let’s take a look at a few of the top storylines to follow this week leading up to the matchup in New Orleans.

There is plenty to be excited about relative to this matchup, but today we will look at what I believe to be the most important storylines in the rivalry matchup between Alabama and Tennessee. Better known as the “Third Saturday in October”.

Kearse likely out, Tyler the RINO among 11 biggest storylines for Cowboys-Commanders in Week 4

Don’t think just because the NFL stashed this game in an early slot there isn’t a lot to pay attention to in this NFCE showdown. @KDDrummondNFL explains.

The Dallas Cowboys (2-1) will play their first early kickoff of the season Sunday when they host their division rivals from Washington. The Commanders (1-2) have had their difficulties of late, after winning their season opener against the now-seemingly formidable Jacksonville Jaguars. Which version of the team will show up on Sunday?

Dallas would be more than happy to continue their misery, as they look to secure their second-straight division win and third straight overall. With two tough road games coming up on the schedule (@ Rams, @ Eagles), Dallas will need to get this victory to keep pace with the top NFC teams as Dak Prescott works his way back into the lineup. From Cooper Rush’s goals to teammates making fun of Micah Parsons, there’s a lot of intriguing storylines in this game, even if the NFL stashed it in the early window.
