Bryce Young and Alabama’s wide receivers were in sync during the first half against Vanderbilt.
After some issues versus Texas and Louisiana-Monroe, Ja’Corey Brooks, Jermaine Burton, and Traeshon Holden created separation from defenders and made plays. Young completed 20 of 28 passes for 316 yards and four touchdowns.
Ja’Corey Brooks, a sophomore, picked up where he left off during his freshman season. He made a heroic touchdown catch against Auburn in the 2021 Iron Bowl and returned with a 44-yard score versus Cincinnati in the Cotton Bowl. Brooks led the Crimson Tide in receiving with six catches for 117 yards and two scores.
