NFL Hall of Famer and Alabama native, Terrell Owens was puzzled by Alabama football’s use of Lotzeir Brooks in the Rose Bowl.
The true freshman had a breakout performance against the Oklahoma Sooners in the first round of the College Football Playoff. He pulled in five receptions for 79 yards and two touchdowns in the Tide’s first-round win.
Brooks was a non-factor a week later in the Rose Bowl. He was only targeted once, and his best play of the game came as a gunner on punt team when he made a tackle. This prompted a response from Owens. The response was aimed at Alabama’s offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb.
“I swear the Alabama OC has to be crazy not involve #17 into the game plan after last week’s game. Makes no sense,” Owens posted to X.
Alabama went on to lose to Indiana 38-3. The Tide’s offense finished the game with 193 total yards.
