The impact of John Metchie’s absence can not be overstated. His 96 receptions are not something that you easily replace. It was obvious that Metchie had great chemistry with Tide quarterback Bryce Young, especially in clutch situations.
Freshman Ja’Corey Brooks seems to be finding his way here late in the season for the Tide. His production tonight against a stingy Bulldogs defense could prove to be the turning point for the Alabama offense.
