Naeshaun Montgomery opens up about his Alabama game-day experience
Alabama ensured a three-game winning streak with its latest massive win over Mercer to improve to an 8-2 record. The school now has 16 back-to-back wins against Football Championship Subdivision opponents since 2007.
Naeshaun Montgomery had heavy praise for Alabama's offense (via On3):
“Got a chance to look at the offense in person and really see them pass the ball around, and get the playmakers the ball. They looked really good, all the way down to the second- and third-string. All four quarterbacks played in the game. I saw the young guys get in the game and score. It was a fun experience.”
Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson entered the game with 8:56 remaining in the third quarter, completing 5-of-10 passes for 71 yards and also rushing for 14 yards on two carries. Montgomery liked what he saw in Simpson and the overall Crimson Tide program.
“When (Simpson) got in the game, he was really a pocket passer. When there’s pressure coming, he gets out and delivers the ball. That’s who’s going to be there next year. Just seeing what he can do and what the freshman receivers can do when they get the opportunity."
Naeshaun Montgomery will take an official visit to Louisville this weekend for the Pittsburgh game at L&N Stadium.
