Simpson took a big hit late in the second half and didn't appear to be 100%.
Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson was taken out of the Rose Bowl midway through the third quarter in favor of backup quarterback Austin Mack.
Simpson took a big hit when he fumbled late in the second quarter to set up an Indiana TD and a 17-0 lead. ESPN sideline reporter Kris Budden said that it was a “coaches’ decision” as the broadcast showed clips of Simpson grimacing as he warmed up in the second half.
Simpson was 12-of-16 passing for 67 yards and was the team’s leading rusher with three carries for 17 yards when he was replaced.
