It’s been the John Metchie show through the first two-quarters of Alabama vs Arkansas thus far.
The junior wide receiver has unsurprisingly been the favorite target of quarterback Bryce Young and has been borderline unguardable. In the first quarter along, Metchie caught four passes for 69 yards and continued his dominance through the second with a 20-yard touchdown to start the quarter.
Alabama’s run game wasn’t able to get going until the end of the second quarter where Brian Robinson ripped off a few tough runs. The Crimson Tide did make a change on the offensive line going into the game with Damieon George replacing Chris Owens at right tackle and has generally given Young consistent pockets.
