Former Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy tweeted out the most fitting summation of Alabama’s continued identity overhaul on Saturday night – “Bama WRU.” That notion, of course, would have been laughable 10 years ago, as Saban’s smash-mouth soul resonated as the identity of the SEC.
But on Saturday night, as Jaylen Waddle streaked past the vaunted Georgia defense, DeVonta Smith slithered through it and Mac Jones delivered lasers to them time and again, Jeudy’s declaration appeared prescient. Alabama again has the best wide receiver group in America, and it is most comfortable winning games simply by running past you and throwing over you.
