On a fourth-and-1 from the Alabama 34-yard line with Indiana leading 3-0, Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer left the offense on the field. Running back Daniel Hill was lined up in the Wildcat formation, and Indiana coach Curt Cignetti called a timeout.
After the timeout, Alabama lined up to punt with quarterback Ty Simpson on the field. He motioned in and tried to draw the Hoosiers offside to no avail before calling a timeout.
