Alabama Kicker Attacked in Tuscaloosa

Weird story here, as Alabama kicker Leigh Tiffin was allegedly assaulted early Wednesday morning. He was apparently attacked from behind, motive unknown, and taken to the hospital. The attack happened near an entertainment district in Tuscaloosa.

Additional reports indicate his injuries are minor -- right hand, right leg, toes on both feet -- and that he has been released from the hospital. The Bama Beat says no arrests have been made and that police believe his involvement was "only as a victim." Kermit T. Frog once said it isn't easy being green. Tiffin proves it isn't easy being a kicker, either.

Tiffin has had an inconsistent career marked with several benchings. His name is legendary however as his father Van nailed a game-winning field goal to beat Auburn that remains a celebrated moment in Alabama football history.
