SEC Network's Dari Nowkhah on Alabama's future under DeBoer, Ty Simpson declaring, Big Ten vs SEC, CFP semifinals, Lane Kiffin
from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins
The biggest college football news of the day Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson — at midseason, considered a Heisman Trophy candidate — leaving for the NFL. Where does this leave South Dakota native Kalen DeBoer at quarterback heading into year three after a disastrous Rose Bowl loss to Indiana? Nowkhah has blunt thoughts on that, how the offense plummeted in the last few games, and the low energy level of Bama fans at the moment. The bigger picture is not just Bama's erosion on the national stage the last few years — yes, even under Nick Saban before DeBoer arrived — it is the entire SEC at the moment having lost its grip as the best league in the country to the Big Ten. How did that happen? What does the future hold? And who will win this week's CFP semifinals? Oh, and that whole Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss/LSU thing — which Kiffin team has a brighter future?
