LaBryan Ray, who didn't see the field against Arkansas last week in the Tide's 52-3 win, will be questionable for the upcoming bout with Florida in the SEC title game.
Veteran defensive lineman LaBryan Ray addressed several of the team's promising young players and its new D-line coach during a Wednesday afternoon press conference.
