A win is a win, but it doesn’t get much uglier than it was this afternoon for Alabama. A late Ty Simpson one-yard rushing TD sealed the deal for a 17-3 victory. The defense played well for the most part only allowing three points and Roydell Williams carried the ball 17 times for 129 yards and a score, but for Tide fans, there weren’t a lot of positive takeaways.
The quarterback play was sub-par, but Simpson seemed to find a bit of rhythm in the second half, but the QB battle will rage onto next week. Buchner clearly wasn’t the guy and likely will not get another shot for the remainder of the season. The wide receivers combined for six catches that went for 49 yards.
The offensive line struggled to say the least and there are many things to clean up heading into Ole Miss next week – a team who is currently averaging 55 points a game. I expect Simpson to get the start next week, but will likely have a short leash with a lot of people rallying behind Milroe.
But, a win is a win and the Tide still can achieve all of their goals for the 2023 season.
