Alabama football quarterback Ty Simpson didn’t beat around the bush following the Crimson Tide’s 20-9 win against LSU. While the team’s defense held strong, the offense struggled mightily—and Simpson made it clear that was unacceptable.
“I’m going to be brutally honest. That’s not up to our standard,” Simpson said. “Everybody knows that. Offense knows that. That’s why we have a good defense.”
The Crimson Tide struggled to run the ball, generating just 56 yards on 26 carries. Simpson had to shoulder much of the load through the air, completing 21 of 35 pass attempts for 277 yards and a touchdown.
Reflecting on Alabama’s offensive difficulties, Simpson acknowledged that while the performance was unacceptable, it was ultimately a valuable lesson.
“This one is good for us because we need to tell the truth and look in the mirror,” he said. “Offense, we need to pick it up. It’s plain and simple how it is. Starts with me. Starts with our run game.”
Before concluding his press conference, Simpson issued a promise—just as he did after Alabama’s season-opening loss to Florida State.
“We’re going to get it right,” he affirmed. “This week of practice, it’s going to be a great week, I promise you that.”
Looking ahead, Alabama will face Oklahoma at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, Nov. 15, at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
