After losing John Metchie in the SEC championship win over Georgia, Alabama's other 1,000-yard wide receiver, Jameson Williams, went down in the first half of Monday night's national championship loss to the Bulldogs. The injury, which Nick Saban speculated was a torn ACL after the game, took away Bryce Young's top weapon, which proved to be massive as the defensive slugfest turned into a bit of a shootout in the fourth quarter.
Georgia came out on top, 33–18 to capture its first national title since the 1980 season.
Williams had four receptions for 65 yards before exiting Monday's contest, catching a 40 yard pass from Young on the play where he suffered the injury.
