Alabama football went down at the Rose Bowl in embarrassing fashion.
In one of the worst losses and performances for the Crimson Tide in the Kalen DeBoer era, No. 1 Indiana defeated No. 9 Alabama 38-3 on Thursday, Jan. 1 in the Rose Bowl, a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game.
The Crimson Tide were kept to a third-quarter field goal and just 193 total yards of offense on the afternoon by the Hoosiers' defense. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson was benched in the third quarter by DeBoer in what was described by ESPN as a "coach's decision" after Simpson sustained an injury following a hit he took in the second quarter.
