TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The football team held its final practice of the 2013 spring season on Thursday in shorts and helmets. The session lasted approximately two hours at the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields.

"We've really had a good week this week," said Alabama head coach Nick Saban.

It's pretty simple. You have a plan to follow, and either you do it or you don't. This team is going to be defined by what they do."

The annual Golden Flake A-Day game is slated to kick off at 2 p.m. CT at Bryant-Denny Stadium and will air nationally on ESPN2. Dave Neal and Todd Blackledge will have the call from the booth and will be joined by Maria Taylor on the sidelines.

The game will have a similar format to years past, with the first-team offense and second-team defense being on one team, and the first-team defense and second-team offense on the other.
