This is a good article about AJ written by Mark Edwards of The Daily Bama Blog.
The Crimson Tide got a 17-day break between the SEC Championship Game and the start of BCS practice, and maybe few Crimson Tide players needed it more than AJ McCarron.
There’s no particular injury he needed to heal, but just the general feeling that he could use some time off after playing 13 games in 14 weeks.
“I needed it a lot,” McCarron said. “I love this game, but we play it all year long. At some point you need a break. So it was good, but it was good for everybody else, for everybody get their feet back under them and try to get rid of little nagging injuries we had throughout the team, so I thought it was a good break.”
