The loss of Jaylen Waddle is no doubt a massive blow for Alabama’s offense.
Waddle was the team’s leading receiver through four games before going down with an ankle injury that will sideline him for the rest of the season according to Nick Saban. It’s a difficult injury to judge in terms of the specific date he will be back, but a return this season is a no go.
Despite losing the explosive receiver on the first play of the game, Alabama was still able to put up 48 points in a victory against Tennessee.
But that wasn’t enough proof for ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit and David Pollack who both believe that the Crimson Tide’s hopes of winning a national championship this season are over.
