Saban: Cam Robinson, Hootie Jones have chance to start opener

HOOVER, Ala. - Alabama coach Nick Saban told reporters at SEC media days that All-SEC left tackle Cam Robinson and reserve defensive back Laurence Jones faced internal discipline after their arrests on drug and weapons charges and will have a chance to play in the season opener against USC.

The two upperclassmen were arrested in mid-May in their hometown of Monroe, Louisiana. Robinson was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and illegal possession of a stolen firearm, and Jones possession of a controlled dangerous substance. However, the district attorney declined to prosecute, citing a insufficient evidence.
