Left tackle Andre Smith not dressed out as Tide warms up
September 06, 2008
TUSCALOOSA—Tough sight while Bama’s warming up—Andre Smith is watching his teammates while in sweat pants and a shirt on the sidelines.
Smith, Alabama’s All-SEC left tackle, has started every game at that position since his arrival as a true freshman in 2006. Tonight will snap that 27-game streak.
Quarterback John Parker Wilson and punter P.J. Fitzgerald extended their consecutive starts streaks to 28 games each.
Also, backup wide receiver Earl Alexander, recovering from a sprained ankle, isn’t dressed out and standing next to Smith on the sideline.
