GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) ? Urban Meyer complained of chest pain and said his side was tingling before he was hospitalized after the SEC championship game earlier this month.

Meyer's wife called 911 hours after the Florida Gators returned home from their 32-13 loss to Alabama on Dec. 5. Shelley Meyer told an emergency dispatcher that her husband was breathing, but had fallen to the floor and was unable to talk.

The Gainesville Sun posted the 911 call and a transcript on its Web site late Wednesday.

Meyer resigned last Saturday citing health concerns, then changed his mind and decided to take an indefinite leave of absence following the Sugar Bowl against Cincinnati on Jan. 1.

He said during a news conference Sunday that he did not suffer a heart attack.
