You knew the virus couldn't keep Nick Saban away from the sideline.
After testing positive for the COVID-19 on Wednesday, the Alabama football coach received negative tests on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, clearing him to coach his No. 2 Crimson Tide against No. 3 Georgia Saturday night in Tuscaloosa.
Saban wasted little time getting back after it.
Sources told ESPN that Saban was informed he had been cleared to return a little before 12:30 p.m. ET, and he immediately left his home with a state trooper to go straight to the team hotel and was able to join meetings prior to 1 p.m. ET.
To recap…
COVID-19: You have to stay home for your team's biggest game of the season Saturday night.
SABAN:
Did Saban receive a false-positive on his first test? Did he use his dark arts to banish the virus from his body?
No. 3 Georgia and No. 2 Alabama kickoff at 8 p.m. with CBS carrying the broadcast.
