Kalen DeBoer Says Ty Simpson ‘Tried to Battle’ Through Fractured Rib at Rose Bowl

Simpson exited Alabama’s Rose Bowl loss vs Indiana due to a fractured rib, prompting DeBoer to turn to Mack by “coach’s decision.” DeBoer said Simpson pushed to play through it. “He really wanted to try to go out there,” DeBoer said. “He feels like he let down the team, and there’s no way that’s the case. He tried to battle.”
