According to Alabama football players, the Crimson Tide took an unprecedented step as it prepared for the Rose Bowl against Michigan. With the allegations surrounding sign-stealing from the Wolverines earlier in the season, players apparently aren’t using the Tide’s Catapult system to watch film on their tablets individually like usual.
Instead, UA is studying as a team. It’s a change, but offensive coordinator Tommy Rees said it hasn’t had a negative impact.
“I don’t think we’ve put any harm to what our preparation can look like with any of the things that we’ve done,” Rees said Thursday before the College Football Playoff semifinal. “And again, we’re focused on us, less about that stuff and more on what we can do to play well.”
He said the change has had its positives for the roster.
Running back Jase McClellan also said the move wasn’t a big deal.
But according to Booker, it hasn’t changed anyone’s attitude.
