# Talk:2013 Alabama Crimson Tide football team

All of the A-Day information has been moved here as a reference per WP:NOTSTATSBOOK. Patriarca12 (talk) 22:54, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Alabama had nine players enroll for the spring semester in order to join the Alabama football team and participate in spring practice and the spring football game: 

Injured for spring game: Derrick Henry, running back
Recorded a statistic in the spring game: Cooper Bateman, quarterback; Luke Del Rio, quarterback; Raheem Falkins, wide receiver; Parker McLeod, quarterback;  OJ Howard, tight end
On spring football game roster (starting team): Brandon Hill, offensive lineman
On spring football game roster (backup team): Jai Miller, defensive back; Leon Brown, offensive lineman

Alabama had eight linebackers play AND record a statistic in the spring game. Trey DePriest, a linebacker who started in 13 of 14 games last year missed the spring practice season with a foot stress fracture. Another linebacker that started in games last season, Xzavier Dickson, missed some spring practices and scrimmages due to a sore knee. In their place in the starting team line up and stat book were Tana Patrick (Senior) and Denzel Devall (Sophomore). Devall played in all 14 games in 2012 as a true freshman and earned freshman all-america honors from Sporting News. 

Alabama is divisional co-champs because of this (see page 4). BenYes? 23:39, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

I shall review this article. Please note that I am a WikiCup participant, but am not doing this just to collect points. I do have a new semester of classes starting tomorrow and may only be available during the weekend and sometimes on the weekdays. But I'd love to review this article. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 21:44, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

No worries on a timeline getting this done as it is a longer article. Thanks for taking the time to do this and I look forward to working with you through this review. Patriarca12 (talk) 22:26, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
I will be using 2012 Alabama Crimson Tide football team as a point of reference, an article you were a main contributor to. So, lets begin:

Lead
In the first paragraph, turn [[2014 Sugar Bowl|Sugar Bowl]] to [[2014 Sugar Bowl]] without the nowiki tags. It can be confusing and some might confuse it with the 2013 Sugar Bowl, since the NCAA football season goes into early 2014, thus 2013 teams play in 2014 bowls.
Good call, changed to read 2014 Sugar Bowl.
In the second paragraph, remove the comma in between "two-time" and "defending".
Done
In the third paragraph, change "the Alabama defense" to "Alabama's defense".
Done
Before the season
Previous season is all good.
In February player arrests, add some wikilinks to perhaps the player names if and only if they are not redlinks. I also think the whole thing could be combined into one flowing paragraph.
None of the four players have separate articles as each at this time would likely fail WP:NCOLLATH at this time. I have reworked the section a bit and managed to arrange it as a single paragraph.
Spring practice looks good.
Fall camp also looks good.
I'm going to leave it at that for now and when your done, you can ping me if I don't respond within 24 hours or leave me a talkback template on my talk page. This article looks good and Alabama once again never fails to impress me. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 22:20, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

First round of comments addressed. Please let me know if you see anything else in these areas that need addressing as we move forward through this review and it will be handled. As an aside, thanks for the compliment on this article in general as it is appreciated as I continue to work through all 119 completed Alabama seasons! Patriarca12 (talk) 01:50, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
OK, my last round of comments before my final review:

Personnel
In the section about returning starters, reference that. Its pretty important. Just references comparing the rosters or news reports are fine.
Citations added
That's it. Otherwise, everything else looks great and ping me once you've added the reference and I shall be passing the article. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 03:30, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to look at this as it was much appreciated. Roll Tide! Patriarca12 (talk) 00:45, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
