    No. 1 Alabama will face 19th-ranked Penn State without defensive end Marcell Dareus, and coach Nick Saban isn't betting on Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram making it back either.

    Saban said Monday that Alabama won't appeal Dareus's two-game NCAA suspension for improper agent benefits.

    "We researched it, and we didn't feel there was any precedent to appeal it," he said. "I wish it was less, but when you look at the facts, you have to say is there any other case that would say he got an unfair punishment? ... We didn't feel like there was a precedent for appeal."
