WINDERMERE, Fla. — Tiger Woods and his wife were unavailable to speak to state troopers for the second straight day, asking them to return Sunday to clear up questions about how he crashed his SUV into a neighbor's tree.

Troopers first tried to talk to Woods on Friday, but the Florida Highway Patrol said his wife, Elin, told troopers Woods was sleeping, and they agreed to return the next day.

On Saturday, the patrol said officers were en route to interview the couple when Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, called to say they wouldn't be available.

The mayor of Windermere, where Woods lives, told CNN that police arrived within two minutes of being notified.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Roddrick Muckelroy looked too tired to walk, let alone lift his arm and sing "The Eyes of Texas."

The Texas linebacker and his teammates had barely survived their wildest game of the season, a 49-39 win over rival Texas A&M that kept the Longhorns' national title hopes alive and gave Colt McCoy a huge Heisman boost.

And it exhausted a defense that had looked dominant this season until Aggie quarterback Jerrod Johnson nearly matched McCoy blow-for-blow and left the Longhorns gasping on the field.
