Alabama-PSU rivalry has produced classic moments Thu Sep  9 02:55:00 2010 EST

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -Barrett Jones was 5 months, 2 days old the last time Alabama and Penn State played.

He doesn't remember the game, but the top-ranked Crimson Tide's guard has become fairly well versed on a rivalry that has featured memorable kicks, great defenses and a goal line stand that is a significant part of 'Bama lore.

``I can't speak for everybody on the team, but I really feel like I appreciate the history of the game,'' said Jones, born on May 25, 1990. ``I feel like this

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram has not returned to practice for No. 1 Alabama and while Nick Saban said the injured running back is unlikely to play against No. 18 Penn State on Saturday, the coach isn't necessarily counting his star out.

``If there is anybody in the world that can play without practicing, it's probably Mark,'' Saban said after Wednesday's practice. ``He's a student of the game, he watches everything, understands everything, knows everything and he

Alabama's Ingram likely to miss Penn State game Wed Sep  8 13:39:27 2010 EST
Tuscaloosa, AL (Sports Network) - Alabama junior running back Mark Ingram will likely miss Saturday's game against Penn State as he continues to recover from knee surgery performed last week. Ingram was hurt during practice on August 30 and underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee the next day. He sat out the top-ranked Crimson Tide's opener against San Jose State and is more likely to make his season debut for Alabama's third game of the year at Duke on September 18. "He's probably

Joe Paterno, who broke Bear Bryant's record on the way to becoming the winningest coach in the history of major college football, brings Penn State to Tuscaloosa to face No. 1 Alabama.

The Nittany Lions and Crimson Tide routinely squared off in the 1970s and early '80s, when Bear Bryant was stalking Alabama's sideline. The Bear is gone now, but the Tide's stadium is named after him. Mean

The NCAA said the case submitted by Alabama shows Dareus accepted benefits that included airfare, lodging, meals and transportation during two trips to Miami. The NCAA said Dareus could have been suspended four games, but "based on the mitigating circumstances in the case" reduced the penalty to two contests. Dareus will miss the Crimson Tide's contest against No. 19 Penn State on Saturday.

The road dress code can wait another week. The Tide (1-0) is preparing to host No. 19 Penn State, coming off a 44-14 win over Youngstown State, in what will surely be a more telling game for the youngsters.
