There was a notable absence on the Alabama coaching staff's "player of the week" announcement on Sunday after the Missouri game.

The Alabama offensive line took a step backward against Missouri on Saturday. Ty Simpson was sacked four times - with numerous more pressures allowed - and it completely disrupted any chance of offensive rhythm. Alabama managed just 325 yards of offense as a result, and narrowly escaped CoMo with a victory.

It was a disappointing showing, especially considering it had felt in recent weeks that the line had taken a step forward.
