The Alabama Crimson Tide take to the playing field on Saturday, April 14, 2012 to play in their annual spring football game and there are a few things for Tide fans to be watching for. The Tide take to the gridiron with question marks in their backfield for the first time in a few years and it seems they will have to rely on their quarterback more than in year's past. With Trent Richardson off to the NFL Eddie Lacy is expected to take over the starting position in the backfield. However Lacy has been out all spring with injury and that leaves the field wide open for others to showoff their talent. Two players for fans to keep an eye on are red shirt freshman Dee Hart and early enrollee T.J. Yeldon. These two have the potential to be big playmakers and excitement is something the Alabama offense could use. With a questionable backfield the Tide are going to have to rely on the play of quarterback A.J. McCarron to pick up the slack. Judging by his performance in two scrimmages so far (throwing seven touchdowns to two interceptions) McCarron appears ready to meet the challenge. Who better to lead the offense then the guy who helped them to win the National Championship game last year. This will be an interesting game this Saturday and I am looking forward to seeing it all play out. It is difficult for a team to repeat a National Championship but it seems that the Tide have all the pieces to do just that. Saturday's spring game will only tell part of the story. It is up to the Tide to tell us the rest. Tickets to the Crimson Tide games are sure to be a hot item and so I get mine early by using BigWillTickets.com.
