Alabama still “evaluating” LB Christian Miller for matchup with Clemson

Upon its arrival to Santa Clara, Calif., on Friday, Alabama head football coach Nick Saban took the podium Saturday for interviews. He is going after his seventh national championship overall and sixth with the Crimson Tide; however, the Clemson Tigers are his competition next week.

Alabama might end up playing this game without a senior leader on defense.

Christian Miller, outside linebacker, is still listed as “questionable” by the coaching staff following the team’s practices on Tuesday through Thursday. The 6-foot-4, 240-pounder sustained a pulled hamstring in the Tide’s 45-34 win over Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl.
