Traeshon Holden getting extended playing time for Alabama at wide receiver

Alabama has gotten production from its tight ends, but it wants a young wide receiver to step up.

Through five games, Cameron Latu and Jahleel Billingsley caught seven of Bryce Young’s 17 touchdown passes.

He has built chemistry with both players, and tight ends in today’s college football are matchup problems. Since exiting Nick Saban’s doghouse, Billingsley has two scores and a 100-yard game versus Southern Mississippi. As for Latu, he has five touchdowns — including two each against Miami and the Golden Eagles. Both guys have played well off each other.

Jameson Williams and John Metchie both lead in the Crimson Tide in a receiving category; however, does it have another playmaking weapon at receiver?
