Bryce Young is one of the most highly recruited prospects of all time and has lived up to the hype. He won the Heisman Trophy last year and led his team to the national championship game. But, last week against Arkansas, he suffered a sprained AC joint that caused him to miss the remainder of the game.
Young was throwing a diving pass when he landed on his shoulder. He initially stayed in after the shoulder injury, during which his shoulder quickly shifted out and back in the socket. However, he likely felt significant pain on his next throw due to the stress on his injured ligaments. He went to the locker room with 7:06 left in the second quarter and didn't return.
According to the College Football Docs, the injury to Young's shoulder could cause him to miss this week's game against Texas A&M. This injury is usually a 1-2 week absence unless he receives a pain-numbing injection.
Young has had a magical season throwing for 1,202 yards, 14 touchdowns, and three interceptions with an 84.6 QBR. According to Fanduel Sportsbook, Young is +1000 to repeat as the Heisman Trophy winner.
Luckily for the Crimson Tide, Four-star redshirt-freshman, Jalen Milroe looked great in Young's absence. He has thrown for 151 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception on the season with a 97.2 QBR.
Everyone has been waiting on Jimbo Fisher to face off with Nick Saban again after some off-season drama. But Fisher didn’t expect starting quarterback Max Johnson to get injured the game before the big matchup.
Johnson suffered a left-hand injury on Saturday in the second half of the game. “We’ll go day-to-day. He banged his hand. We’ll go day-to-day,” said Fisher. We’ll get Haynes (King) and Conner (Weigman) ready to play if Max can’t go.”
Johnson has thrown for 517 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions on the season with a 3-2 record.
One of the team's many five-star prospects was also injured last week. Starting cornerback Jaylon Jones suffered a head injury, and is considered “day to day.” He’s been a three-year starter for the Aggies and has recorded 12 tackles this season.
The third player injured on Saturday for the Aggies is redshirt sophomore Offensive lineman Jordan Spasojevic-Moko. He left the game last week with crutches and a boot on his foot. He has now been said to have undergone season-ending surgery on Monday. The starting left guard said this on his Instagram:
Surgery this morning went well. After reflecting on this year it's crazy to think this time last year I didn't even know how many points a touchdown was or that you only have 4 plays to get 10 yards. Starting at one of the best schools in the country in the most elite conference there is. God has a plan. Stay up and Gigem.
The Alabama Crimson Tide is favored by 23.5 points, and the over/under is 51.5, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
