OPELIKA, Ala. The Alabama-Auburn game on Nov. 26 will be televised nationally by CBS.
The game will kick off at 2:30 p.m. CST at Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium.
It's the 10th time in the past 12 years CBS has televised the Iron Bowl game.
It has featured the eventual national champion the past two years, with Alabama winning in 2009 and Auburn last season.
Auburn: The man accused of poisoning the historic oak trees at Auburn's Toomer's Corner is set for a March trial.
Lee County Circuit Court Judge Jacob A. Walker III has scheduled Harvey A. Updyke Jr.'s trial for the criminal court session beginning March 5.
Updyke was indicted on two counts of criminal mischief, two counts of desecrating a venerable object and two counts of a state law that includes making it unlawful to damage, vandalize or steal any property on or from an animal or crop facility.
He has requested that the charges be reduced to misdemeanors.
Mississippi: Quarterback Austin Davis of Southern Miss leads the list of 10 nominees for the 2011 Conerly Trophy, which honors Mississippi's top college football player.
The trophy will be presented Nov. 29 during a ceremony at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum.
The other nominees are punt returner/wide receiver Terrence Lewis of Alcorn State, running back Justin Gaines of Belhaven, quarterback Micah Davis of Delta State, quarterback Casey Therriaultt of Jackson State, wide receiver Jason O'Rear of Millsaps, defensive back Jarrad Craine of Mississippi College, defensive back Johnthan Banks of Mississippi State, wide receiver Paul Cox of Mississippi Valley State and defensive back Charles Sawyer of Mississippi.
Notre Dame: The Fighting Irish offensive line, which hasn't surrendered a sack in more than six weeks, has lost starting center Braxston Cave for the remainder of the season.
Coach Brian Kelly said Tuesday that Cave will have surgery this week to repair a foot ligament. Cave left Saturday's game against Wake Forest in the second quarter with what was described as a mid-foot sprain.
"It's a tough loss for us and Braxston's been a consistent performer for us over the past couple years," Kelly said.
Cave, a senior, started the last 22 games at center for the Irish dating to the season opener in 2010. Cave has a year of eligibility remaining and Kelly said he would be back next season.
Senior Mike Golic Jr., who replaced Cave against Wake Forest, played in 12 games last season but will be making his first collegiate start Saturday at Maryland (2-7, 1-5 ACC).
"We've got a great deal of confidence in Mike Golic," Kelly said. "Mike came in and played very well for us."
Cave is the latest loss for the Irish (6-3).
Wide receiver Theo Riddick will also sit out Saturday's game with a hamstring injury, Kelly said. Defensive lineman Ethan Johnson is expected to return after missing four games with an ankle injury. Linebacker Manti Te'o and defensive end Aaron Lynch are battling ankle injuries of their own, but Kelly said he expects them to play against the Terrapins.
Stanford: Chris Owusu has been ruled out for the No. 3 Cardinal against sixth-ranked Oregon while the wide receiver recovers from his latest concussion.
Stanford coach David Shaw said Tuesday that Owusu will not play against the Ducks on Saturday. He said the receiver's status for the rest of the season is still being evaluated.
Owusu has had at least three concussions in the last 13 months.
He was taken from Reser Stadium by ambulance last Saturday after a helmet-to-helmet hit by Oregon State's Jordan Poyer. Owusu also was hit hard in the head by Southern California safety T.J. McDonald on Oct. 29. The Pac-12 suspended McDonald for one half of USC's next game, at Colorado, for the hit.
Yale: Senior quarterback Patrick Witt is seeking help before choosing whether to join teammates in his final college game against Harvard University or interview as a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship.
Witt has asked the Rhodes Trust for an early interview on Nov. 19, which may allow him to meet with scholarship representatives at Emory University in his home town of Atlanta and then fly back to New Haven, Connecticut, for a noon kickoff against the Crimson. The rival schools meet on the final weekend of every season in a contest known as "The Game."
Witt, 22, said he has discussed the possibility of an early interview and logistics of callbacks, which sometimes happen in the afternoon. He said he would wait to make his decision until he heard back from the trust.
