Alabama football will not have wide receiver John Metchie for the College Football Playoff Semifinal versus Cincinnati.
He sustained a knee injury in the SEC Championship Game that required surgery. National media could see it as a problem for Alabama’s offense, especially with Metchie being a 1,000-yard target. Jameson Williams has proven he is the go-to option for sophomore quarterback Bryce Young. Williams leads the Crimson Tide for receiving yards (1,445), touchdowns (15), yards per receptions (21.3), and yards per game (111.2). He is the explosive weapon, but who helps Williams in offsetting the Bearcats?
Young broke down Alabama’s group of young receivers in Tuesday’s media availability with reporters.
