Alabama Football: How Steve Sarkisian keeps Crimson Tide explosive without Jaylen Waddle.

Not that Steve Sarkisian needs any prodding, but Alabama football head coach, Nick Saban still wants an explosive offense. Make that demands, instead of wants, and to Saban, the loss of Jaylen Waddle will not be an excuse.

Steve Sarkisian must maintain explosiveness without his formerly most explosive player. Getting DeVonta Smith more touches will be the place to start. Most opposing defenses will take the chance doubling Smitty does not make them too vulnerable against the other Crimson Tide receiving threats.
