TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The University of Alabama football team began classes on Wednesday with the 2015-16 academic year starting. The Crimson Tide followed up the day of classes with a two-hour session in full pads outdoors on the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields.

The Tide will take part in 28 total practices on the way to its season opener with the Wisconsin Badgers. The two teams will meet in the AdvoCare Classic on Sept. 5 inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. CT kickoff on ABC with Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Heather Cox on the call.

Thursday and Friday will follow suit with a 3:30 p.m. session running into Saturday’s 1 p.m. scrimmage inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. The intrasquad contest will be the Crimson Tide’s final scrimmage of Fall Camp.
