With Alabama football down 24-0 in the second half of its College Football Playoff game in the Rose Bowl against Indiana, Kalen DeBoer opted to make a change. Ty Simpson stayed on the sideline for the Crimson Tide’s drive, with Austin Mack taking over the offense on the field.
Simpson has been Alabama’s starter all season. Mack has served as his backup, but has played sparingly.
Simpson remained on the sideline during a television timeout before the drive. He later joined the huddle on the field with a towel over his head.
The benching came after Simpson made multiple short trips to the medical tent early in the game. He took multiple big hits throughout his time leading the offense on Thursday.
Simpson was 12-of-16 passing for 67 yards. According to the ESPN broadcast, it was a coaches decision after his play following one serious hit.
Mack is a redshirt sophomore in his second season in Tuscaloosa. He told AL.com ahead of the game that he had enjoyed the 2025 season despite not playing much.
“It’s been great,” Mack said at Rose Bowl media day.. “Ty’s done a great job. Our coaches have done a great job. Our QB room is really special. Me, Ty and Keelon (Russell), it’s honestly been great. Going through spring, summer, fall, I’ve learned a ton, whether it’s from Ty or Keelon even.
“Really it’s been learning and kind of just experiencing it all. It was my first true season being in the whole thing. Especially with the season we’ve been through. It’s been ups and downs, but the highs have been high. It’s honestly been great. It’s been really fun. It’s been a really good learning experience.”
Mack had thrown for 125 yards and two touchdowns entering the game. He had completed 13 of 16 attempts before the Rose Bowl.
Alabama got off to a ghastly start against Indiana, the No. 1 team in the nation. The Crimson Tide couldn’t move the ball offensively, and fell behind by a major deficit.
The Rose Bowl is being aired on ESPN.
