Despite how fantastic [autotag]Bryce Young[/autotag] has looked so far this season, it seems like there is just a little something missing from the Alabama offense.
Last season, Tide fans were spoiled by the vertical threat that was Jameson Williams. Alabama has yet to find a guy out wide that can blow past the defense and be a vertical threat for the Young and the offense.
That may be about to change if Lousiville wide receiver [autotag]Tyler Harrell[/autotag] can find his way onto the field. Harrell transferred to the Tide with high hopes but injuries have plagued the speedster from Miami.
During his Wednesday teleconference, Crimson Tide head coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] addressed the status of Harrell. “He’s been practicing. He actually was available for the last game. He’s getting more and more reps, more and more comfortable with what he’s doing,” Saban told reporters. “There’s a possibility that he’s getting to the point where we can start to use him.”
If Harrell is finally healthy and comfortable in the Alabama offense, his vertical threat could be the shot in the arm the Crimson Tide offense needs as they hit the back half of the season.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor Harrell’s status as the week continues.
