On Saturday in Tallahassee, Ty Simpson will start for Alabama for the first time. He sought advice from his former head coach to prepare.
Nick Saban may not be Alabama's head coach anymore, but the players he recruited that remain in Tuscaloosa still seek his advice and live by his gospel.
For better or worse, Ty Simpson will be remembered as the last QB at Alabama from the Saban era. The others recruited by Saban that came after him have all moved on to other programs and will start elsewhere: Eli Holstein (Pitt), Dylan Lonergan (Boston College), and Julian Sayin (Ohio State).
