We'll take a look at Alabama and Ty Simpson. He had a dynamic performance week number 1 against Oklahoma. In Norman, he throws for 232 and 2 touchdowns. If he has that type of performance coach against Indiana, is that good enough to not only cover the 6.5 point number against the Hoosiers, is it good enough to pull out the outright victory? Yeah, they, they could do that. They, he, he has to be perfect too. He can't throw the interceptions along with that because they're one-dimensional and Indiana plays such good strong defense, uh, it's, it's gonna be done under pressure because they're gonna be done in situations where they know he's gonna throw the football. So he's got to have a phenomenal game because they do, and they do have some really nice receivers. They've got outstanding talent at the wide out position, but I think what's gonna have to happen for them. To win the football game, Ty Simpson is gonna have to have a great football game because they don't run it well enough, and he's got to go out there and make plays against an outstanding defense that plays well against the pass, uh, without turning the football over. He has the ability to do it. We've seen him do it at times this year, and, uh, but a lot's on, of all the quarterbacks in the SEC that, that they're more on his shoulders than anybody because of the type of offense they've got. Knowing how they started on the road in Norman, right? And it's a neutral site game, obviously in the Rose Bowl, uh, does De Boer and the offensive staff potentially utilize a little tempo early on to potentially get Ty Simpson into an early rhythm, or do you think he just goes with, with maybe scripted plays, uh, in this second-round matchup? You know, the thing that you do with a quarterback in a situation where he's not as experienced or hadn't had a lot of years is try to script the plays and make sure he knows exactly what you want of him and don't get out there and ask him to ad lib too early. So I would much more think they would make sure now you can script plays and still tippo a little bit, just make sure it's the ones you win. Over in practice over and over again so that when he gets in that ballgame, the 1st 5 plays, he knows exactly what they are and what he's exactly gonna do and then you can adjust your offensive plan according to what happened in those plays. And so I would think the main thing is not to put him in a, a real difficult situation, but I'm gonna say this when you're the underdog. It, it, the first thing I usually see your teams, they're going after you over top. They're trying to make a play early to let, let the other team know that you're there for business. You're there because you wanna win the football game and you're gonna do what it takes. So look for them to go after Indiana early. Uh, when you look at these 2nd-round games, are we given advantages to these quarterbacks that have played in round number 1? Like Ty Simpson got the ring rust out, and maybe the first couple of quarters against a very good defense in Oklahoma. Up until this point, Mendoza hasn't played a snap in the college football playoff. He's, uh, on a 3-week hiatus since he won the Heisman. You know, that possibly, but I, you know, I, I never worried about being off late in the season. You've had so many repetitions, you know, early in the year, you're not in sync yet and you want to just play one game after the other early in the year to make sure you're moving toward, uh, that good continuity and that good togetherness. But late in the season, uh, a week off doesn't hurt. Now. Weeks off, that's a little bit long, uh, to knock that, but, but they're, they're trying to get their timing in practice as much as possible. So I don't think it'll be a factor because we're this late in the season with the talent level we have at the quarterback position. Uh, I don't think we'll have as much problem with these quarterbacks playing to their level and to their potential.
