It’s the battle of the freshmen. Standing on 23-7, the Tide and Kalen DeBoer ain’t having a good time. With the team allowing so many penalties, it looks like Bama is going to lose this one. What’s more surprising is Ryan Williams‘ presence on the turf is quite lacking. This guy was a blast to watch when he went up against Georgia and managed to stun Kirby Smart with his moves. Right now? It looks like Ryan Williams could use some support.

And if all that wasn’t bad enough, the people on X have started a whole debate about which freshman is better: Williams or Jeremiah Smith. One user took to X to post, “Is Ryan Williams still better than Jeremiah Smith?” Smith is still standing strong with 19 catches, 5 touchdowns, and 360+ yards and Williams is struggling badly against the Dores. This is a big hit to the entire image Williams managed to create after his solid last-moment touchdown against the Dawgs.

The fans have already declared Smith to be the best and noted that Williams doesn’t stand a chance. The question now is; is it fair to judge Williams so harshly based on a single game? You can’t blame the guy too much. Bama’s defense has not been on point in this game.

Allowing the Dores to run 2 touchdowns in the first and second quarters, along with a 24-yard interception return from Randon Fontenette. It feels like Bama loves giving their fans the heebie jeebies. The situation is so and that even Kristen Saban took to her Instagram story to call out the entire defensive line.

We do know that linebacker Justin Jefferson is out for this one, but could this be the reason for the poor blocking, or is the overconfidence after the Bulldogs win the root cause? While Bama has managed to make it a 14-23 as the 2nd quarter comes to an end, let’s see what the fans are saying about the entire Williams vs Smith debate.

The battle between two prodigies

“Man Jeremiah Smith can’t be fw bro im sorry 😂 im not hearing none of that Ryan Williams shit 😂” was the first comment a fan made on X. See, we cannot judge Williams based on one single game that ain’t even over yet. From what we have seen, this guy manages to pull some solid plays at the last moment and he could end up doing the same again.

Another fan pointed out, “people tried telling me ryan williams was better than jeremiah smith😭.” Williams and Smith are still on the same level. This entire thing feels like comparing a Porche with a Ferrari. Both cars are equally good and both cars and equal flaws.

Finally, a fan noted, “Ryan Williams is not better than Jeremiah Smith lmao.” We are yet to see how this game ends, so keeping a reservation regarding the final thoughts would be much better. Williams has the potential to turn things around. We just gotta wait and watch.
