No. 8 Alabama rolled to a 66–10 home victory over Chattanooga on Saturday, but the blowout win didn’t come without some rocky moments.
With the Crimson Tide cruising to victory, coach Nick Saban decided to give some of his backups some playing time on the tail end of the rout. Freshman quarterback Ty Simpson was one of those backups, and he nearly made the play of his young college career before it quickly turned into a nightmare.
At the start of the fourth quarter with Alabama already up 52–10, Simpson took off on a run on third-and-9 deep in Crimson Tide territory.
