Alabama enters November in the driver’s seat for a spot in the College Football Playoff. In the words of Ty Simpson, the Crimson Tide can’t afford to “piss it away.”
I appreciate Simpson’s use of strong language, and not just because it looks good in a headline.
Expect to hear a lot of coachspeak from Alabama this month, as it navigates the distractions stemming from the CFP rankings, Simpson’s Heisman Trophy campaign and the carousel of coaching changes across the SEC. There’s going to be a lot of “1-0 mindset” thrown around.
