The “Old Ty” returned for Alabama midway through its comeback win over Oklahoma. It just took a while to find him.
A slumping Ty Simpson got off on the wrong foot against the Sooners over the weekend, completing two of his first six passes while leading Alabama to three straight three-and-outs. Simpson came one play away from extending that streak to four failed drives before connecting with receiver Lotzeir Brooks for a crucial third-down reception to breathe some life into the Crimson Tide’s offense.
The 29-yard completion on third-and-5 extended what went on to become Alabama’s first scoring drive of the game.
