With the Crimson Tide winning the Iron Bowl and beating the Auburn Tigers on Saturday night, it secured its spot in the SEC Championship game against the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday.
Quarterback Ty Simpson has played an important role in the Tide’s offense this season as a first-year starter, and although he has dealt with some struggles over the past couple of weeks, he is a necessary component for Alabama’s success.
Auburn’s defense did provide Simpson with some challenges on Saturday, but he and the Tide still prevailed thanks to the three touchdown passes he tossed, even though he only managed to throw for 122 yards on 19 completions.
