It wasn’t just about statistics; it was about sand. The junior signal-caller was hitting behind a shaky offensive line, but kept making shots.
“That Simpson has been getting a ton of criticism all season,” another observer published on Ks. “But Alabama can’t run the ball at all, their offensive line is mediocre … he still threw a ton of dimes all year. Warrior right there.”
