The Crimson Tide offensive coordinator wanted the battle to end 'yesterday,' but he shared the steps that the trio must take to win the starting job.

After spring football, Grubb said that if Alabama were to play a game "tomorrow," Simpson, the redshirt junior, would be the starting quarterback. As fall continues, Grubb said that's a mentality Simpson must hold consistently if he wants to be named the starter full-time.

Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb didn’t hide his excitement about the big men up front. Grubb was asked Tuesday after practice what excites him most about the offense with the Crimson Tide in its second week of training camp.
