Analysis

It is hard to find a group of wide receivers that have been more productive than Alabama’s wideout corps this season. With two of undoubtedly the best wide receivers in college football, Alabama’s offense has tore defenses apart. Unfortunately, an injury to Jaylen Waddle has left a hole within this group.

Despite losing some major explosiveness with the loss of Waddle, Alabama’s offense still has an opportunity to continue using its multiple weapons at wide receiver to shred defenses for the remainder of the season.
