OXFORD, Miss. — As many as 12 Mississippi players could miss practice because of flu-like symptoms. Coach Houston Nutt said Monday that affected players are being tested for swine flu. Whatever strain it is, it's passing through the team quickly. Symptoms include vomiting and fever.

Nutt says several players were throwing up during Sunday's 45-14 win over Memphis. Safety Johnny Brown played through illness and took intravenous fluids at halftime but still led the team with 15 tackles.

But the illnesses come at a good time. The No. 8 Rebels have this week off before facing Southeastern Louisiana on Sept. 19.
