Alabama football defeated the Oklahoma Sooners to move on to the Rose Bowl and the second round of the College Football Playoff.
Here are our initial takeaways from the game:
Ty Simpson Shows Flashes Of Early Season Form
Ty Simpson may not have looked like the way he was playing when he was considered to be the Heisman favorite, but he for sure showed flashes on multiple throws. If he can do this on a more consistent basis in the next round, Alabama would benefit from it
Pass Protection Needs To Impove
Alabama football failed to protect Ty Simpson quite a bit in this one against a great Oklahoma defense.
