The beauty queen girlfriend of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron became the unexpected star of the BCS Championship Game between Alabama and Notre Dame in Miami Monday night when the camera flashed on the stunning brunette, prompting announcer Brent Musburger to practically start drooling over her -- creating a moment that ignited both positive and negative comments on social media sites.
As No. 2 Alabama jumped out an early 14-0 lead over No. 1 Notre Dame in the game, Musburger, 73, and his broadcast partner Kirk Herbstreit, 43, gushed over McCarron's girlfriend like prepubescent teens.
"Wow, you quarterbacks get all the good looking women. What a beautiful woman, whoa!" Musburger fawned as ESPN cameras focused on McCarron's girlfriend, Katherine Webb, in the stands. "If you're a youngster in Alabama, start getting the football out and throw it around the backyard with pops."
Webb -- a former Miss Alabama -- had raised some eyebrows leading up to the game because she is an Auburn alum, and she had tweeted her support for her alma mater's nemesis.
