Southern Miss’s Biggest Threat Against Alabama

“This is one of the most explosive teams that we’ve played on special teams.”

Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban spoke about it in his Tuesday press conference. There is much to be concerned about in Southern Miss’s wide receiver Jaylond Adams. In three games so far, the redshirt sophomore has 18 receptions for 257 yards and a touchdown. Defending him as an offensive weapon will certainly be a matter to address but perhaps the bigger issue is his skills as a return man.

On five kickoff returns, he has amassed 237 yards for an FBS-leading 47.
