Perhaps one reason the Crimson Offensive coordinator has Tide’s offensive numbers appear to be been slowly but surely rewriting the trending up is the team’s ability to turn offensive record book since he arrived any play into a big one.

Alabama linebacker supports the process. He believes if the defense executes just as coach Nick Saban preaches day in and day out, it can stop any offense. Besides, Saban was very proud of how the team performed last week- end against Arkansas, especially the defense on third-down situations. The Crimson Tide’s next challenge will be stopping the Texas A&M duo of quarter- back Trevor Knight and running back Trayveon Williams. “It’s important that all 11 guys do their job [on Saturday],” Hamilton said. Here’s a look at how the defense has done with coming together to stop third downs from turning into first downs, starting with a flashback to last season as a baseline. 2015 ALABAMA: third-down conversions Its opponents’ success: 65-of-227 — 29 percent Those number make up the entire 2015 season, but Alabama has only played seven games so far in this 2016 season.

After the early warning signs, the abuse typically worsens because a big part of the classic abuser’s motivation is control. “Controlling the intended victim can look all sorts of ways, like cutting them off from their friends, gradually isolating them, being very angry or disapproving when they go out and see their friends, things like this,” Keyes said. “But it also includes class; it is kind of hard to be a good student if you can never leave your room to study, for example.

The clicks of a mouse, the taps of a keyboard and the heat of a printing bed are helping students bring their ideas to life in a whole new way. With a variety of 3D printing options on campus, students can create something physical and tangible with the help of UA staff. The 3D Prototyping Lab, also known as The Cube, in Hardaway Hall, is a lab designed to give students the resources they need to create a prototype for a project. Ken Fridley, the senior associate dean for the College of Engineering, oversees the lab. “The idea is the students are coming in there, going through the design thinking process, developing something original and then being able to produce that,” Fridley said. “One of the avenues for that is 3D printing.” This idea originated around 2012 to offer students a place to work together with volunteers and employees to create a project. There is no cost associated with coming into the lab and working, but students must present a proposal for their project, which will be evaluated by the College of Engineering. “The College of Engineering provides them with a grant that is of value to cover the cost of printing,” Fridley said. 3D printers operate by laying down melted plastic which then hardens.
