It won’t hurt them against 99% of teams but definitely going to decrease their chances against Clemson, Ohio state or even a rematch with Georgia or showdown with Florida.

It will definitely hurt against an elite defense like Georgia again or if we were fortunate enough to get to the playoffs and play Clemson or Ohio State.

We were pretty much unstoppable by anyone in college football with a healthy Waddle. We're now just a very, very good offense. It's certainly a blow.

There's not another guy in the country with the unique skill set Waddle has (maybe Rondale Moore). We've got other good players who will step in and do their job, but we definitely lose explosiveness and give good defenses a better chance to scheme against us.

It hurts, especially against a Georgia or a Clemson/Ohio State if Bama makes the playoff. He’s a special player with a unique combination of speed and skill (particularly with his smaller size) that no other Bama reciever replicates. That said, we have guys who can come in and play very well in Waddle’s absence, even if not quite to his level.

I haven’t watched much of the bama games this year. Is he the one who returned the punt for a td in the lsu game last year?

Yep, that’s him. He’s #17.

He's a junior - he wasn't eligible.

What is the deal with Tenn and hurting Star players on A1?

Tua last year and now Waddle!

What game did Tua hurt his knee in 2018?

I think Waddle is what Christian Kirk would have looked like at bama.

He caused his own problem. There was no lane to run the ball back. As valuable as he was he should never tried to run one back.

There is now a good chance we will come up short for the N.C.
