Alabama is almost ready for Saturday.

Two days before its annual A-Day spring game played inside Bryant-Denny Stadium, Alabama released its Crimson and White rosters for the intrasquad scrimmage Thursday.

As expected, the projected first-team offense is on the White team, while the projected first-team defense is on the Crimson team. The second-team defense is paired with White and the second-team offense is on Crimson.

Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said there is a reason he divides the team up in this manner for A-Day.

“When you split up the squad and have a draft, it’s a lot of fun but sometimes you get some mismatches that are difficult and make it hard for other players to well, so we’re kind of going to stick with this format,” he said.

Of note, quarterbacks Jake Coker and Alec Morris are on White, with David Cornwell, Cooper Bateman and Blake Barnett on Crimson. But don’t think that their particular roster placements equate to the depth chart order for the upcoming season just yet.

“We don’t really have a first-team quarterback,” Saban said. “We had to put some guys on both teams, and I think when it comes to that position, we're putting the guys on the teams so that we feel like they can get the most – how can we them the best reps and how can we play them where they get reps. That’s the No. 1 goal from a quarterback standpoint.”

A-Day is scheduled to kickoff at 2 p.m. The annual spring game, which is free to the public, will be broadcasted on SEC Network+ with Joe Tessitore and Greg McElroy in the booth, and Shannon Spake on the sidelines.
