Finally Alabama Football Game Week and what to expect during the week

Alabama Football is back with the Crimson Tide Kalen DeBoer Era. Finally! Opening week drama does not come from Saturday night's opponent; Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers glitzy offense versus the new Alabama football defense will be fun, but Alabama is a heavy favorite.

There will be no media viewing periods during this week's practice sessions. As we discussed a few days ago, an official Depth Chart is not expected until later in the week. Kalen DeBoer, Nick Sheridan, and Kane Wommack will answer media questions after Monday's practice. DeBoer should be available around noon.

Select players will do interviews on Tuesday. Alabama Crimson Tide assistant coaches will have question and answer sessions after Wednesday's practice. Kalen DeBoer will also be on the SEC Football teleconference on Wednesday.

Wednesday night from 6:00 - 7:30 PM, DeBoer will be on Alabama's Hey Coach Show.
