Alabama football’s starting quarterback Ty Simpson has been applauded for his decision to stick out in Tuscaloosa and wait to earn his opportunity to be QB1.
This is a road Simpson knew he would possibly have to travel the moment he signed with the Crimson Tide. But the journey still had its fair share of doubt and uncertainty. One of those times was a few days before Nick Saban retired. Simpson had been a backup in Tuscaloosa for two seasons at that point, and the Tide’s starting quarterback at the time Jalen Milroe was set to return to the team for his final season.
