I remember Bama’s (L) 1st game vs Florida St, 17-31, Simpson struggled. He got sacked 3 times and almost 3 more times, due to poor OL play. Here are his stats for the game: 23/43 = 53%, 254 yds, 3 sacks, 1 IT, 118 QBR (average). OK it was his 1st game, and it was a big one, but he did not play well. Most of his passing stats came in the 4th Qt, trying to mount a come back and win da game. For 3 Qts, he played badly.
Shoot, after dat FSU loss, Simpson has been on fire and big reason Bama’s on a 6 games consecutive win run. He has been very impressive, and ranked top 7 QBR. I posted the other day of my top 5 QB’s so far, Sayin Ohio St, Mendoza, Indiana, Simpson, Bama, Maiava, USC, D. Willams, Oregon.
OU QB, J. Mateer dropped out due an injury. He was my # 1 early on… Cheers
