She earned the attention when ESPN's cameras continued to
find and linger on her during the BCS championship game the night before. She was in the stands watching her boyfriend,
Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, led the Crimson Tide to the title over Notre
Dame.
The TV sports network issued an apology Tuesday for comments
made about Webb by announcer Brent Musberger that some thought were
inappropriate.
As the cameras found Webb Monday night, the 73-year-old
Musberger said, "Wow, I'm telling you quarterbacks: You get all the
good-looking women. What a beautiful woman. . . . Whoa! . . . If you're a
youngster in Alabama, start getting the football out and throw it around the backyard
with pop."
ESPN said Tuesday, "We always try to capture
interesting storylines and the relationship between an Auburn grad who is Miss
Alabama and the current Alabama quarterback met the test. However, we apologize
that the commentary in this instance went too far and Brent understands
that."
But Webb said Musberger's comments didn't bother her,
stating, "It was kind of nice. I didn't look at it as creepy at all. For a
woman to be called beautiful, I don't see how that's an issue."
