Alabama QB Ty Simpson Says a Cracked Rib Sidelined Him in 2nd Half of Blowout Rose Bowl Loss

Alabama aims to restore SEC pride with a win in the Rose Bowl, facing a 7-1 Big Ten bowl record and intense conference rivalry this postseason.

  • On Thursday, Alabama Crimson Tide football team faces No. Indiana Hoosiers football team in the Rose Bowl quarterfinal with kickoff at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN as a three-loss underdog.
  • After uneven results, Alabama's losses to Florida State, Oklahoma, and Georgia reflect the pressure on Nick Saban, who has a 20-7 record at Alabama.
  • Stopping slow starts and executing early are primary tactical priorities as Alabama must start faster and stop first-quarter shenanigans, Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb said Saturday.
  • Conference outcomes matter: the SEC is seeking answers after recent CFP absences, and the Big Ten's 7-1 bowl record this season raises the stakes for Alabama fans.
  • If the Big Ten secures another title it could mark a notable power shift, as rival conference seedings with three top-five College Football Playoff slots and the SEC's single semifinal spot shape postseason narratives.
