TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) Alabama coach Nick Saban says defensive lineman Raekwon Davis has been released from the hospital.

Davis was shot in the right leg outside a Tuscaloosa bar early Sunday morning. Saban said Monday he's getting treatment and is ''day to day'' for Saturday's opener for the top-ranked Crimson Tide against No. 3 Florida State.

Saban says he's not happy about them being out that late but that ''it doesn't seem like our players were guilty of anything other than being out late.''
