Alabama football had one of the best offensive attacks in college football earlier in the season when the Crimson Tide rattled off four straight ranked wins.
Ty Simpson was a Heisman favorite, Jam Miller was leading a solid rushing attack and the Tide’s wide receiver unit was looking like one of the best in college football.
Simpson was not a Heisman finalist, the Tide rushed for negative yardage against Georgia in the SEC Championship and Simpson was out of rhythm with his receivers in the Tide’s last few games.
