    Hall Impressed With Bama Offense And Hawkins Pleased


    Everyone seems to be talking about wide receiver DJ Hall and the opportunity to write his name atop a couple of all-time lists in the Alabama football record book. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound senior from Fort Walton Beach, Fla., is on the verge of becoming the school's all-time leader in receiving yards and receptions. "With this offense," Hall said before Sunday's Fan Day practice at Bryant-Denny Stadium, "we'll put up a whole lot better numbers than we did (last season). It's a great offense. I can't wait for people to see it."

    Colorado head coach Dan Hawkins called Tuesday's afternoon session "one of the best practices we've had since I've been here in so many ways." ... As had been expected, defensive end Drew Hudgins has been ruled out for the season. Hudgins, who had 19 sacks last season at Highland Community College in Kansas, tore an Achilles tendon this summer.

    The Gators seem to have found some help for All-Southeastern Conference defensive end Derrick Harvey. Freshman Justin Trattou has impressed the coaches so much that they're already making plans for him to play a lot this season. "He's playing. You can write that down," Meyer said after Tuesday night's practice. "He's earned that right."
