Alabama coach gave the reason during halftime of the 3-3 game.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban claps during the first half of an NCAA college football game against South Florida Saturday, Sept. 16, 2023, in Tampa, Fla. Alabama coach Nick Saban benched Tyler Buchner for Ty Simpson during the first half of Saturday’s game in Tampa against South Florida.
At halftime, Saban explained why he made the decision to sit Buchner, who was making his first career start for Alabama after replacing Jalen Milroe. “We said we wanted to see if we had a quarterback that could play winning football and thought we struggled a little bit,” Saban said of the first half. “Maybe it was the rain. I don’t know. Ty was the guy that practiced the best this week as a backup player, so he has a chance to play.”The first half was delayed an hour due to a lightning delay, but the Crimson Tide’s performance was equally troubling before and after the weather stopped play.
