CFB Analyst Drops Bold Ty Simpson Prediction for 2025
The Alabama Crimson Tide enters the first season with Ty Simpson starting at quarterback in 2025.
On a recent edition of "The Sharpe Shooters Podcast," Cover Crimson's Clint Lamb believed the Alabama gunslinger could be one of the top quarterbacks in the SEC and college football in terms of passing yards.

Simpson has been the Crimson Tide's backup quarterback for three seasons and is in the second year under head coach Kalen DeBoer.
Alabama averaged 236.4 passing yards per game last season, which ranked eighth in the SEC, but has brought in pass-heavy offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, who was with DeBoer at the Washington Huskies.

"If the passing game is as effective as I think it can be, and you have an offensive coordinator who kinda likes to lean into that when it is effective, then he could get plenty of opportunities, which could lead to some pretty absurd numbers," Lamb said. "I could see him being one of the leaders in the SEC and in college football."

The numbers back up Lamb's claim, as Grubb's Washington offense in 2023 finished second in the Pac-12 for passing yards per game with 343.7.
After DeBoer left for Alabama, Grubb took a job as the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks under head coach Mike Macdonald.
Simpson has already been busy after being named the starting quarterback for Alabama. He attended the Manning Passing Academy and said it was something on his bucket list.
He also revealed what Alabama was missing in 2024 after finishing 9-4.
Simpson has played in 16 games for the Crimson Tide since 2022. He has thrown for 381 passing yards and has yet to throw a touchdown for the program.

Ignacio Rivero: We weren't worthy of representing Cruz Azul
Ignacio Rivero spoke to the press ahead of the match against LA Galaxy on the second day of the Leagues Cup. There, the captain sent a message regarding the 7-0 defeat in their debut in the competition. "We are responsible for what happened in the match; we were not worthy of representing the institution. We must turn the page and be hungry for revenge. If at some point we become champions, it's not just two or three of us, it's all of us; and if we lose, we all lose," he stated. Rivero emphasized the team's commitment to bouncing back in the tournament, and this Sunday he will be on the field to fight for La Máquina's first victory.
