Episode Synopsis


In this episode of Saturday vs Sunday, we break down Alabama’s hard-fought road win over Missouri — a game that was much closer than most expected. We talk about how Ty Simpson’s calm control and Alabama’s balanced attack ultimately wore down a tough Mizzou defense that just couldn’t get off the field. We were there in person for this one, soaking in the SEC atmosphere, and Missouri’s effort stood out: the Tigers’ defense looked legit, their run game was solid, but their passing attack stalled at key moments. We dive into how Bama’s defensive scheme kept Missouri uncomfortable all game, and why this performance could mark a turning point in Ty Simpson’s emergence as Alabama’s long-term answer at quarterback.
