Overview

• The SEC on Monday named Simpson co-offensive player of the week and Proctor co-offensive lineman of the week for the 24-21 win at Georgia, honors shared with Ole Miss’ Trinidad Chambliss and Patrick Kutas.
• Simpson completed 24 of 38 passes for 276 yards with two touchdowns, added 12 rushing yards with a score, and helped Alabama to 397 total yards.
• Proctor caught an 11-yard lateral to the Georgia 2 to set up Ty Simpson’s two-yard rushing touchdown, earned a team-high 89% grade, and did not allow a pressure or sack.
• Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb said he called the play because Proctor had proven ball security and execution in practice and because it offered a red-zone edge.
• Nick Saban praised Proctor’s athleticism and lauded Grubb’s plan, noting Alabama’s 13-of-19 third-down conversions, as focus turns to Vanderbilt on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
