One of the interesting things to watch under first-year Alabama head coach Nick Saban is how much freedom junior quarterback John Parker Wilson is given next fall. He's learning a brand-new offense this spring with a new offensive coordinator in Major Applewhite and a new head coach in Saban. It hasn't been too overwhelming for Wilson, though, as he seems to have adapted nicely. Wilson says he feels especially comfortable in the shotgun, and his teammates also have talked about how well he sees the field out of the shotgun. Much of what the Crimson Tide runs next season will resemble what Saban ran at LSU. But there will be some snippets of the spread offense Applewhite ran when he was on the staff at Rice. First-year offensive line coach Joe Pendry will add to the package based on some of his experiences in the NFL. He was the Carolina Panthers' offensive coordinator during their second year of existence in 1996 when they went to the NFC Championship Game.

As Saturday's annual A-Day spring game approaches, Alabama is still searching for its starting nose tackle. The plan at this point is to play a 3-4 next season, although an outside linebacker could be used occasionally as a rush end to give the defense more of a 4-3 look. Sophomore Lorenzo Washington is probably the favorite to be the starter at nose tackle, but he's been held out of contact this spring after undergoing pectoral surgery. Redshirt freshman Brian Motley, a former center, has worked with the first team this spring at nose tackle. Sophomore Byron Walton will also be a candidate when he returns from a broken hand.
