During the week of Alabama’s matchup with Georgia, both Nick Saban and Greg Byrne received positive test results for Coronavirus. While the outcome for Saban ended up as a false positive, Byrne experienced symptoms for the virus.
Hours before the game started, the athletic director for the Crimson Tide posted a statement to Twitter that he was ‘feeling pretty good‘ and that he appreciated the well wishes from fans. He watched the game from home and cheered with approval, as Alabama defeated the Bulldogs by a score of 41-24 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. On Thursday, Byrne made an appearance on the Paul Finebaum Show and talked about his experience with COVID-19.
