Alabama was again inside Thursday afternoon as it continues to practice in advance of its New Year's Day bowl game against Ohio State. Here is what I saw during the limited viewing period.
There was nothing significantly different from the previous two days. The defensive line was outside, presumably doing blocking sled drills.
The offensive line was in its usual five-man group of Austin Shepherd, Leon Brown, Ryan Kelly, Arie Kouandjio and Cam Robinson. Sophomore reserve Grant Hill missed his third straight day of practice.
T.J. Yeldon again took it easy. It's clear that the coaching staff is giving him light work during these initial practices so that the junior running back can be as fresh as possible for the semifinal matchup.
The running backs ran through agility drills with a football tucked under each arm. Yeldon walked around trying to poke footballs out of the running backs' hands.
