Winners and Losers: Texas scare shows Alabama needs its wide receivers to step up

Alabama’s remade receiving corps was on full display in the Crimson Tide’s 20-19 win over Texas on Saturday. And that display was unconvincing.

The Crimson Tide entered the 2022 season needing to replace receivers Jameson Williams, John Metchie III and Slade Bolden and got a sneak peek of what life would be like without Metchie and Williams in the national championship game in January when both were out due to knee injuries.

Alabama clearly wasn’t convinced with what it saw in that 15-point loss to Georgia as the Tide secured commitments from transfer wide receivers Jermaine Burton and Tyler Harrell.
