In the first half of the Rose Bowl against Indiana<\/a><\/strong>, Alabama<\/a><\/strong> quarterback Ty Simpson<\/a><\/strong> took some monster hits. When asked about Simpson\u2019s health, Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer<\/a><\/strong> told ESPN\u2019s Kris Budden<\/strong>, \u201cWe\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the first half of the College Football Playoff<\/a><\/strong> quarterfinal matchup, the ESPN broadcast said Simpson has been nursing an elbow injury. He then appeared to tweak the issue when he fumbled in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Budden reported Simpson received treatment in the locker room during halftime. But DeBoer didn\u2019t sound fully sure about his quarterback\u2019s health during the second half, though Simpson took the field on the opening series. However, Austin Mack<\/a><\/strong> took the field on Alabama\u2019s second possession of the third quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI talked to Kalen DeBoer coming out of the half,\u201d Budden said on the broadcast. \u201cI asked him, how is Ty Simpson\u2019s health? The exact quote was, \u2018We\u2019ll see.\u2019 He received some treatment in the locker room.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched him warming up. You could tell, throwing the ball, he seemed a bit uncomfortable. DeBoer told his offense, listen, there\u2019s no 17-point touchdown. We\u2019ve just got to let it rip and be loose.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Alabama\u2019s first possession of the second half, Mack took the field as Simpson headed to the bench. Budden reported a conversation with DeBoer about what was called a \u201ccoach\u2019s decision\u201d after treatment in the halftime locker room.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to be Austin Mack\u2019s ballgame for Alabama,\u201d Budden said. \u201cThey have benched Ty Simpson. This is a coach\u2019s decision because of what occurred after [a] hit in the first half. He received treatment during halftime, and every time he would throw the ball, he was grimacing. Just did not have the zip on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were both warming up before this, and then Coach went to Simpson and said, you\u2019re going to need to take a rest. He did go into the injury tent and came back out to try to give the rest of his offense a pep talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simpson put together a strong first year as the starter during Alabama\u2019s regular season and helped lead the Crimson Tide to the SEC Championship. He was also impressive in the first round of the College Football Playoff against Oklahoma<\/a><\/strong>, throwing for 232 yards and two touchdowns as Alabama came back to take down the Sooners and advance to the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

All told, Simpson entered Thursday\u2019s game with 3,500 passing yards and 28 touchdowns, to five interceptions. At the time of his departure, he completed 12 of 16 passes for 67 yards as Alabama struggled mightily against Indiana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the first half of the Rose Bowl against Indiana, Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson took some monster hits.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":486853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[1318,1317,1315,1316,62,33168,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-486852","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-football","11":"tag-ncaafootball","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-ty-simpson-22-westview","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115824986607007458","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=486852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
