Many of Saban's questions going into the spring have been answered to his satisfaction, although he is quick to point out he doesn't think the Tigers are a finished product. On defense we're developing more depth in the secondary. Faulk and fellow linebacker Bradie James will play for the White team, along with free safety Ryan Clark , defensive tackle Chad Lavalais , flanker Josh Reed , tailback Derron Parquet and quarterbacks Marcus Randall and Rick Clausen . Other Purple teamers include tailback LaBrandon Toefield , split end Reggie Robinson , tight end Robert Royal , linebacker Jeremy Lawrence and Davis at strong safety. The game will consist of four 15-minute quarters but will be played with a running clock.
Exceptions are on change of possession and in the final three minutes of each half.
The kicking game will be involved but there will be no tackling on kick returns. To foster a little competition for today's game is the menu for the post-spring team meal. The winning side gets steak dinner with linen and china. To the losing squad goes a meal of beans on paper plates. I think that's a big part of mental toughness.
