Overview

  • Ty Simpson completed a school-record 17 consecutive passes and finished 17-for-17 for 226 yards with three touchdowns in one half.
  • Alabama scored on all 11 possessions with 10 touchdowns and a field goal while holding Louisiana-Monroe to 148 total yards.
  • Backup quarterbacks Austin Mack and Keelon Russell each threw two touchdown passes as the Crimson Tide showcased depth under center.
  • Preseason All-American receiver Ryan Williams remained in concussion protocol and did not play.
  • ULM receives a $1.925 million guarantee for the game, and the result could lift No. 21 Alabama in the AP poll ahead of next week’s visit from Wisconsin.
