Do stats matter because teams have played so few games? For some SEC football fans, they do, because their quarterbacks are rated as some of the nation's best passers. Alabama Football has been mostly unsettled at quarterback since Bryce Young won the Heisman. Jalen Milroe was spectacular at times. At other times, he was an awful turnover machine. Ty Simpson began the 2025 season with a rough outing against FSU.
On the road against the Noles, Simpson was 23-for-43 (53.5%) and produced a Passing Efficiency Rating (PER) of 118.5. Simpson has not blossomed in the two games since.
