The Crimson Tide held their spring football game was held Saturday March 17. Coach Sabin and the team were anxious to hit the field in front of a almost record setting 91,000 people which is a lot of fans. Most fans mainly wanted to see the Mark Ingram-Trent Richardson combo. They both played excellent at tailback. Other fans were wondering who the starting quarterback would be since their are four of them. Greg McElroy started for the crimson team while redshirt freshman A.J. McCarron started for white. McCarron led his team to beat McElroy and many people were impressed with his skills. But he wasn't the one who caught people's eyes, true freshman quarterback Philip Sims played outstanding behind McElroy. He threw for over 120 yards and 2 touchdowns and people were amazed by his athleticism and arm strength for a kid who just turned 18 a month ago. While the offense is spectacular, the defense is just as good even after they lost two all Americans Rolando McClain and Javier arenas and All-SEC corner Kareem Jackson. Sophomore Marcel Darius played great for the defensive line and Donta Hightower and Nico Johnson did exceptional at linebacker. He only weakness the Tide has is at safety but I think they have the talent and athleticism to get that position situated.
