NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Alabama's All-America linebacker
Rolando McClain and backup defensive back Rod Woodson missed media
day for the BCS championship game Tuesday morning because of a
stomach virus.
Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban described the pair as being
"under the weather."
Saban says the team's medical staff would decide whether the
players would practice Tuesday afternoon. He said they have been
given medicine.
He's hoping the bug will pass within 24 hours and both players
will be available when No. 1 Alabama plays second-ranked Texas for
the championship on Thursday night.
