Overview
- Left tackle Kadyn Proctor said Simpson "ripped our ass" during a Monday team meeting following the 27-24 victory at Missouri.
- Simpson said he spoke as a leader about meeting Alabama’s standard and declined to share specifics of the message.
- Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb said the Crimson Tide left plays on the field against Missouri and stressed the need for better consistency before Tennessee visits Saturday.
- Alabama has leaned into short-yardage and wildcat looks with Proctor, who nearly scored at Missouri after earlier runs against Vanderbilt and Georgia.
- Players hinted more Proctor packages could appear, with Simpson saying "something in the works" and Tim Keenan III suggesting a touchdown is possible if the look is used, as Simpson’s own surge has drawn Heisman attention.
