Alabama’s Mark Ingram and Julio Jones Cleared To Play Saturday

We found out a few weeks back that Alabama starters Julio Jones and Mark Ingram took a fishing trip together during the off-season. No big deal. Until you also mention that businessman Curtis Anderson was also with them. And he paid for the trip. Oops.

Alabama reported the infraction to the NCAA and braced itself for the chance that it’s star WR and starting RB would be lost for the season-opener against Virginia Tech. The verdict came down this evening and it was...no big deal.
