Ty Simpson made a Tebow-like vow after Alabama's loss - but it falls on deaf ears

Ty Simpson channeled his inner Tim Tebow with his words following Alabama's season-opening loss to Florida State. But Crimson Tide fans are tired of talk that's followed by inaction on the field.

Ty Simpson's first career start at Alabama didn't go as he planned or as Tide fans hoped. Minor moments of brilliance were mostly replaced with ineffectiveness. Alabama's offense opened the game with a dominant 16-play, 75-yard drive for a touchdown to go up 7-0. The offense sputtered from there, allowing Florida State to rack up 24 consecutive points before they got back on the scoreboard.
