Overview
- BetMGM moved Simpson to +300 and its biggest Heisman liability, drawing 17.1% of the money, with Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza (+325) and Ohio State’s Julian Sayin (+400) next in line.
- Through seven games he is 153-of-218 passing for 1,931 yards with 18 touchdowns and one interception, plus 66 rushing yards and two scores.
- Head coach Kalen DeBoer said the Heisman conversation is not a topic inside the program, noting individual awards will follow if Alabama keeps winning.
- After three seasons as a backup, Simpson said earlier years left him feeling “miserable,” and he now leans on a QB-room mantra: “Prepare like you’ve never won, perform like you’ve never lost.”
- Alabama is 6-1 on a six-game surge that includes four straight wins over ranked SEC opponents, and visits South Carolina on Oct. 26 at 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
