We want to take the utmost precautions for everyone’s safety so he will be out for the remainder of the tournament. I am thankful for our medical staff and the Vanderbilt medical staff for helping Tyler.”

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:
"For [them] to kind of say we haven't deserved their respect to call us Alabama, they call us `Red Team.’ And for their head coach to come out and say they can play against anybody, I don't think we're just anybody. We won two national championships in a row and we're undefeated right now. So we're not just anybody." – AJ McCarron after Alabama crushed Tennessee 45-10 on this date in 2013
