Wally Pipp became famous for the day he left the lineup.
Lou Gehrig became a legend for what happened next.
A century later, Austin Simmons learned the hard way that football can work the same way.
An injury cost him his opportunity at Ole Miss. Trinidad Chambliss stepped in. The job never came back.
But getting Wally Pipp’d doesn’t have to be the end of the story.
Sometimes it’s just the end of the first act.
Now at Missouri, Simmons has another starting job, another opportunity — and all the talent that once made him one of the most intriguing young quarterbacks in the SEC.
Austin Simmons is only 20 years old.
And Act II might be the breakout.
Remember the Name.
