One of the three crucial questions facing Alabama in 2022 was the cornerback rotation; specifically, who would be opposite Kool Aid McKinistry. Four players were vying for two spots, and after an entire Fall Camp and a third of a season, the coaching staff went with RS Freshman, Terrion Arnold.

It’s safe to say, however, that Saturday would be the first true test of the season for Arnold, as he was matched against Freshman 5-star WR, Evan Stewart. Stewart is a tough matchup for almost anyone in one-on-one coverage. He was the No. 2 WR in this class for a reason: he’s a Smitty clone — a six-foot track champion with soft hands and good breaks into and out of his routes.
