Alabama has won eight straight games after Saturday night’s 20-9 victory over LSU at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and much of that run has fallen on the shoulders of Ty Simpson. Simpson, though, wasn’t happy with his unit’s performance in Week 11.
The redshirt junior quarterback told reporters, “that’s not up to our standard,” referring to the offense putting up just three points in the second half. While that might be true, sputtering in the second half has mostly been the standard for the Alabama offense against quality opponents this season.
There are some alarming issues with the Crimson Tide, and though he’ll certainly take accountability for them, very few have anything to do with the play of the quarterback.
