Britt stays home

One quick update some 20 minutes before kickoff of Alabama vs. Ole Miss:

Senior left guard Justin Britt did not make the trip on Saturday, instead staying with his family in Birmingham, where his mother Vera continues to recover from a serious head injury suffered in the hours after the Crimson Tide's game with Houston last Saturday.

For those of you who haven't heard the story, Britt's hometown paper, The Cullman Times, provided the most detailed account of the accident and Vera Britt's condition. Read that here

Vera Britt's condition has apparently improved in the last few days, though she remains in intensive care.

With Justin Britt absent, junior Antoine Caldwell will start at left guard today, with Evan Cardwell at center and Marlon Davis at right guard.
