Other than the 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: obvious reasons, it's not great to be back in the 14 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 2: Midwest because it's a degree. 15 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: It might be less than a degree. 16 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: But the college football world is hot, hot, hot. 17 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm good, Ty. 18 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 2: It's been a long night, but a great night, and 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: so no complaints, a lot of thoughts, a lot of enjoyment. 20 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: Excited to put this bow.

The Georgia Bulldogs have 24 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: won their first national championship since nineteen eighty by virtue 25 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 3: of their thirty three to eighteen victory this evening over 26 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: the Alabama Crimson Tide. We're going to go through that 27 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 3: game in as much detail as we can. We did 28 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 3: a four hour live stream out on YouTube and Facebook 29 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 3: and Twitter and pretty much every streaming platform that we own. 30 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 3: We were out there. We had Roger Sherman from The Ringer, 31 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 3: We had Jeff Schwartz from Fox. We had Adam Amin 32 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: from Fox and for the Bulls. Brought a bunch of 33 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 3: folks in to talk about the college football game as 34 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 3: it was transpiring. We watched this thing in real time. 35 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 3: We reacted to it in real time. We don't have 36 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: any notes, unlike a lot of the shows that we do, 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 3: we don't have notes jotted know on what transpired. I 38 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 3: think we're going from memory here, we're going from the 39 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,279 Speaker 3: box score. 40 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: But we did watch this. 41 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 3: Thing in real time. We reacted to it as it 42 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 3: was happening, and. 43 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: Man, what a game. 44 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 3: What a game this ended up being. It started very slowly. 45 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: Field goal, punt, punt, punt, punt, field goal, field goal, punt, 46 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: field goal, field goal, punt. 47 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: End of half. You're right, that was the first half. 48 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: Started very slowly. 49 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 3: We weren't sure what we were going to get. We 50 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: were to some extent fearful of another nine to six game, 51 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 3: but it in the end ended up being something. 52 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: Far more beautiful. Dan it was a flower than bloomed late. 53 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 2: We're recording this currently at twelve thirty two pm Eastern 54 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: time or am Eastern time. So yeah, as Tie trails 55 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: off in his metaphors, yes it was. It was a 56 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: game that appeared to be slow moving, frustrating at times, 57 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: watching Georgia on offense sort of attempt things that didn't 58 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 2: quite make sense throwing the ball, and Alabama deal with 59 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 2: a pretty brutal key injury to Jamison Williams that ultimately 60 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: like hopefully Jamison Williams is fine either now or eventually, 61 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 2: but really without John Metchi and Jamison Williams changed a 62 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: complexion of what Alabama was able to do or were 63 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: comfortable doing in a National championship game against a defense 64 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 2: of Georgia's caliber. But it looked like, because of the 65 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: limitations at times of Stetson Bennett and of the available 66 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: Alabama personnel and two pretty incredible defenses, that we were 67 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: going to be in for more of a field positionee 68 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: type National Championship game, which was both a good game 69 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: and also lacking at times in offense of electricity. 70 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 3: I think that's all right, Dan, We're going to cover 71 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: this from about as many perspectives as possible. 72 00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: Sure at twelve. 73 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: Thirty three am Eastern time.

My voice is about 84 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: to peter out, but we're gonna power through here for 85 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: at least another forty five minutes or so, and by 86 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: all means going out to our website at solidverbal dot com. 87 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: That's where you can find our website, all the articles 88 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 3: that we post, all the things that we've done over 89 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 3: the last year. This is really the cherry on top 90 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 3: of the college football season. The twenty twenty one twenty 91 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: two season was a wild season. 92 00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: Dan. 93 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 3: You know, we can do the retch respective in the 94 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: offseason when time permits. But the path that we followed 95 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 3: to get us to this point, from having a group 96 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: of five team in the college football playoff to just 97 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 3: a whole host of things that made this such a 98 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: wacky season eventually led us to this place now where 99 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: we had a rematch of the SEC title game. You 100 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: may recall that Alabama won that game by a forty 101 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 3: one to twenty four final score. Going into this game, 102 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 3: you picked Georgia. You were the hopeless romantic that went 103 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: with the Georgia Bulldogs, thinking, hoping perhaps that something could 104 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 3: be different going into this football game, I was a 105 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: little bit more skeptical, even though I picked Georgia to 106 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: win the national championship before the start of the college 107 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: football season, I was very skeptical. My question all throughout 108 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 3: was what has changed? 109 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: What's different? 110 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 3: John Metchi got hurt, But beyond that, what's different now 111 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: than back on December fourth? I think a bunch of 112 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 3: things were different in this game. Dan, This's is much 113 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: different game in many respects than what we saw the 114 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 3: first time round. Jamison Williams going down is it. I 115 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: don't want to make that the centerpiece of this conversation, right, 116 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: but Jamison Williams going down in the second quarter was 117 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 3: a pretty big deal and altered the landscape of Alabama's 118 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 3: offense in a pretty drastic way. They suddenly did not 119 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 3: have that experience going downfield. They didn't have those obvious 120 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 3: game breakers that they could rely on in their offense. 121 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 3: And I'm not going to say that lost them the game. 122 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 3: I don't believe that lost them the game because they 123 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: had trouble moving the football even before he went out. 124 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 3: But certainly Jamison Williams going down played a big, big part. 125 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 2: Of this, right Oh yeah, I mean absolutely did. And 126 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: John Matchey had a big part the way that he 127 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: went down before, and he went down in that game 128 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: and he's a championship game. But no, it, he had 129 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: such an enormous game against George of the first go round, 130 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: and that he made the play he did when he 131 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: did get injured points to his importance and an ability 132 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: to stretch the field and keep you know, defensive back 133 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: safeties whatever honest downfield. That opens things up in the 134 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: mid level and the running game whatever, as we saw 135 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: against Cincinnati when Brian Robinson was able to sort of 136 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: run unimpeded. And George is a different animal for sure. 137 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: But yeah, Jamis Williams going down and Bama being down 138 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: its top two receivers is enormous. But at the same time, 139 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: you have a Heisman winning quarterback. Ye And when a 140 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: Heisman winning quarterback is the guy taking snaps for you, 141 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: he rises all boats. You know, he is the guy 142 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: who makes everybody better. He's able to, you know, make 143 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: plays out of nothing and throw off platform and find 144 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: Jalil Billingsley or your guy Cameron Lettou or Slade Bolden 145 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: in the slot and like he's able to make plays. 146 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: And we're still dealing with an Alabama team with an 147 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: incredible left tackle, an incredible depth at skill position. Like 148 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: it's not a team that you feel terrible for. It's 149 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: just a different team than we used to see what 150 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: we're used to seeing out of Alabama. 151 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: I just. 152 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: Even healthy. What are you supposed to do against this 153 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: Georgia defense? They did it once and you say, what changed? 154 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: And I might push back and say, I don't know 155 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: if anything changed necessarily. Georgia just looked more like the 156 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: Georgia we were used to seeing, and they did the 157 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 2: Georgia things, wearing teams down on the ground on offense, 158 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: you know, using incredible players on all three levels on 159 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 2: defense to the best of their ability in very smart ways, 160 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: and letting them make plays, diagnose and close on screens whatever. 161 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: That there is an inevitability to Georgia's defense that we 162 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: saw all season long. And maybe it's not that it 163 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 2: changed between the SEC Championship in today. Maybe it's just 164 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: that it change for the SEC Championship and they were 165 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: just back to being Georgia tonight as we record this 166 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: a few minutes after the game ended. 167 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. 168 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: So one of the things I want to dive into 169 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 3: a little bit here is, you know, we did the 170 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 3: live stream, a four hour live stream. If you are 171 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: ever so inclined, you can go back on YouTube and 172 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 3: find that. 173 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: To watch us watch the game in real time of 174 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: us just saying like whoa wow, oh whoa yeah. 175 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 3: Heaven help you if you decide to go back and 176 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 3: watch that. But you know, this is a pretty tight 177 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: game most of the way. It was nine to six 178 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 3: at halftime in favor of Alabama. 179 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: Georgia grabbed the lead in. 180 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: The third quarter, they made it thirteen to nine, and 181 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: suddenly we're talking through we're gaming out different scenarios by 182 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 3: which this thing can get to overtime, by which this 183 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 3: think can hit the over. Georgia rides a twenty point 184 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 3: fourth quarter to victory. Again, your final score thirty three 185 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: to eighteen. I want to start by talking about Stetson Bennett. Okay, 186 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 3: stets and Bennett had two previous games against Alabama, both 187 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 3: of which resulted in I think three picks. In twenty twenty, 188 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 3: he had two picks in the SEC title game. There 189 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: is some debate at least between the two of us 190 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 3: as to whether or not he had a good game 191 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 3: in that SEC Championship that we saw over a month ago, 192 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 3: a little bit over a month ago. Nonetheless, stets and Bennett, 193 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: I think we would both objectively agree has gotten better 194 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 3: in each of the matchups that we've seen now with 195 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 3: him against Alabama. In this matchup, it wasn't as if 196 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 3: he was lighting the world on fire, but stets and 197 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 3: Bennett made some really big plays. Stetson Bennen didn't he closed, 198 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 3: he closed, he closed, He didn't make the big mistake 199 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 3: he had the weird crossover dribble dribble early in the game. 200 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 3: He went ai with it in the open field on 201 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 3: the run. But you know, early on for Georgia, that 202 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 3: fourteen yard run was the longest run that they had. 203 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 3: You know, it was the biggest play that this offense 204 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 3: was able to muster. And throughout the course of the game, 205 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: I felt like he got better. I felt like he 206 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 3: really settled in. He finished the game his line seventeen 207 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 3: of twenty six for two hundred and twenty four yards, 208 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 3: two touchdowns, and no interceptions. So in the end, that 209 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 3: looks pretty clean. There were moments, there were moments where 210 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 3: we wondered, but I think Stetz and Bennett ultimately answered 211 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: the call. He didn't need that three hundred and fifty 212 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 3: yard game that we discussed on our preview podcast. He 213 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 3: just needed a clean game and a really good defensive effort, 214 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 3: and thankfully for the Georgia Bulldogs, I think both came 215 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 3: through in this instance. 216 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it wasn't fully clean because that fumble 217 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 2: was costly right until he closed super well, which didn't 218 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: fully I don't you know, I couldn't get a read 219 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: whether it's a fumble or not. But we had the 220 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: Alabama recovery at the sideline and they turned that quickly, 221 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: pretty quickly into six. So not a perfectly clean sheet, 222 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 2: but nonetheless, I guess it's not how you start, it's 223 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 2: how you finish. And Stetson Bennett finished. I think it 224 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: was like four or four for eighty some odd yards 225 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: after that fumble. Yeah, it was Look, the play calling 226 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: was kind of all over the place at one point, 227 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: I think some Mere White was averaging seven and a 228 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 2: half yards per carry and they weren't just handing the 229 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: ball to him behind a pretty good offensive line. That 230 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: was I don't know if they're gashing Alabama. That's probably 231 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: too strong a term when Will Anderson is back there. 232 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: But they were running the ball fine on Alabama, and 233 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 2: they were just putting it in the air. They were 234 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: trying to run horizontally, and they were kind of overthinking 235 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: things for a long stretch in this game. And when 236 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: they actually were able to run the ball, it opened 237 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 2: up play action. Stetson Bennett took some shots. Some of 238 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 2: them worked out, some of them didn't. He had the 239 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: incredible touchdown pass to what Adnai Mitchell A d Mitchell. 240 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: He had the huge fourth down conversion, little flip over 241 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 2: the top to brock Bowers for the touchdown, and that 242 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 2: huge spot as Georgia was trying to put the game away. 243 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: And so yeah, it's Stetson Bennett was at the end 244 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 2: of the day fine. He wasn't incredible, He wasn't the 245 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: reason they won by and large, he wasn't the reason 246 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 2: that they would have lost. He was fine. He was 247 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: a bit a game manager, might be looked at in 248 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 2: sort of a derogatory term, but he made plays in 249 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: the biggest, higher leverage moments and made winning plays for 250 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 2: the winning team. 251 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: So he was fine. 252 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 2: And that's good enough when the other guy throws the 253 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: interceptions when Alabama was down the players that they were 254 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: down and unable to keep drives going and unable to 255 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 2: contain Georgia up front. So when you have the defense 256 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 2: Georgia has, ultimately Stetson Bennett was good enough. 257 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 3: We mentioned the Jamison Williams thing. Jamison Williams had a 258 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 3: forty yard reception down the middle of the field. It 259 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 3: stepped awkwardly and left the game. You know, it was 260 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: a non contact thing. He was wide open. Bryce Young 261 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: made a pretty big play, and from that point forward, 262 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 3: I'm not going to say that the complexion of the 263 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 3: game changed, but it certainly led to a much different 264 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 3: game plan for the Alabama offense. There's just no denying 265 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 3: it that. Of course, without him in the game, obviously 266 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 3: they already had the injury to John Metchi. It changed things. 267 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 3: It changed things, and suddenly they're dealing with guys who 268 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 3: have only had a handful of targets throughout the course 269 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 3: of the year. So that made it difficult. I thought 270 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 3: Alabama quit itself quite well. But you mentioned the interceptions, 271 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 3: and we could talk about the interceptions because in a 272 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 3: matchup where I think we had focused a lot on 273 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 3: stetson Bennett and him, not just you can't make the 274 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: big interception, you can't make the big mistake. Bryce Young 275 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 3: had two pretty big mistakes in this game, I would. 276 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: Say, so, yeah, it's not even I mean, look, the 277 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: mistakes were killer as well, but it was how many 278 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: teams were able to pressure Bryce Young to the point 279 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 2: where he wasn't able to consu distantly make any plays. 280 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: I mean, he made some plays, but like there was 281 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: just this something in the air with this Georgia defense, 282 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: which we've seen all season long, where it's just like 283 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: if you're not throwing the ball right away, they are 284 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 2: chasing you down. I think it was the two point 285 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: conversion where Alabama lined up four dudes on the left, 286 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: nothing was there and Bryce Young tried to scramble for 287 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: the two point conversion and there were two dudes who 288 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: had cut off his line and it wasn't even a 289 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: question of was he going to get to a corner. 290 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: It was just not happening. I think it was a 291 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: safety and a linebacker, maybe one of them was a linebacker, 292 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: And it's just a different team. It's just a different 293 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 2: level in the waves that the Georgia front came at 294 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: Bryce Young, especially without the guys that Bryce Young didn't have. 295 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: What I mean, what he's supposed to do. Bryce Young 296 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: is the quarterback best built to make plays under that 297 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: kind of duress and couldn't make those plays, Like there 298 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: is not a quarterback in the country who would be 299 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: quicker on his feet and quicker with a release to 300 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: just make a team pay on the run. And he 301 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 2: couldn't do it. He couldn't do it on the Indianapolis turf. 302 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: What does that say? 303 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 3: No? Absolutely, and I mean I think it speaks volumes 304 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 3: about the Georgia defense that Bryce Young did not do 305 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 3: anything no on the ground with his legs. Right, He 306 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 3: threw for three sixty nine, he had a touchdown. He 307 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 3: played about as good a game as he could have 308 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 3: given the circumstances. But one of the X factors that 309 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 3: we talked about a lot in the build up to 310 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 3: this football game was the fact that this is even 311 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 3: though it's not his game to go out there and 312 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 3: run for a ton of yards, he is a guy 313 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,359 Speaker 3: who's very shifty, and he can shift within the pocket, 314 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 3: and he could find ways to buy himself time even 315 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 3: against a really good defense like the Georgia Bulldogs. Bryce 316 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 3: Owing did not really beat them with his legs. Georgia 317 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 3: did a good job keeping track of him and not 318 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 3: allowing him to beat them, even though they gave up 319 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 3: a fair amount of yards through the air. 320 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was honestly like watching this game. So I'm 321 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 2: trying to I'm looking at the scores here. So Alabama 322 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: is down thirteen twelve. They go up eighteen thirteen on 323 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: the Shorter Latoo touchdown, the sort of not improvised but 324 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 2: a really nice little quick throw from Bryce Young to 325 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: let Too who's sort of squatting in the end zone. 326 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 2: Georgia follows that up with their own touchdown. I think 327 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 2: that was the longer pass right from Stetson Bennett to 328 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 2: ad Ni Mitchell and then they force a Bama punt 329 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 2: and I thought that was just that was kind of everything. 330 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,239 Speaker 2: Was it not like that defensive drive, the fact that 331 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 2: Georgia was able to because the Alabama drive, they had 332 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: the short field off of the fumble and they have 333 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 2: the touchdown, And it just felt like Alabama was getting 334 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: in a groove right that they were kind of figuring 335 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 2: out what Georgia was trying to do on defense. They were, 336 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 2: you know, taking what the defense gave to them, and 337 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 2: they're like okay here, and we were watching this with 338 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: Jeff at the time where it's like, Okay, Alabama is 339 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 2: getting comfortable, right, George's on the field maybe a little 340 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: bit too long. And this is where Alabama makes its 341 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 2: own statement and has been waiting to, like Okay, here 342 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 2: is excelsior the joke we like to make about like Okay, 343 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 2: here's our plan for this moment. And it just had 344 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: that feel for it for Alabama, like oh there, Nick 345 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: sab was gonna do it again. The way that he 346 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: pulled out like that Auburn game where you're just like, 347 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 2: I don't know how they won that game, but like 348 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 2: they found that window, they found that crease, and they 349 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 2: walked away with the w and that just that had 350 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 2: that feel in that gap there, And when Georgia came 351 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: back and matched that score, that just sort of raised 352 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 2: an eyebrow for me, like, oh, okay, Stetson Bennett is 353 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 2: not shrinking away from this moment and takes like a 354 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 2: bad sack and throws an incredible pass, Like he just 355 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 2: he kept getting back up, he kept answering Alabama, and 356 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: I don't know that I was fully fully expecting that, 357 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: Like I really did feel like there was something inevitable 358 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 2: about Alabama once they sort of got that second half momentum. 359 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 2: And good for Georgia. I mean, we're sticking with this 360 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: this Georgia offensive theme that there were some unexpectedly successful moments, 361 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: but it was a full effort and they stayed in it. Mentally, 362 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 2: they stayed extremely strong, and you saw that at the 363 00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: end of the game where they go up it was 364 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 2: twenty six to eighteen and then nail that interception bring 365 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 2: it all the way back. Like there was just that 366 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 2: energy that stayed within the Georgia team that I don't 367 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: know if it was Alabama shell shocked over injury, I 368 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 2: don't know what it was that they weren't able to 369 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 2: get things going on offense like they normally were. But man, 370 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: just very cool to see that Georgia was able to 371 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 2: just sort of lock in even when it seemed like 372 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 2: they were taking a bit of a haymaker there. 373 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 3: One of the things that I found very interesting. And 374 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 3: maybe this is just me opening up personally, Dan, because we're. 375 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: All fine, I'm ready bring it. 376 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 3: Typically, when you've got a game at halftime where it's 377 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 3: nine to six, yeah, my reaction. 378 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: Is, oh my god, I can't live Big ten West. 379 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: Here we go again. What a terrible football game. 380 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 3: I didn't feel that way at all. 381 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: I felt like this was a very good. 382 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 3: Football game the full way through. 383 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: And we talked about it a little bit on our 384 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: live stream. 385 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 3: We had Jeff Schwartz on again, we had I'm not 386 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 3: going to go through all the names that we had, yeah. 387 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: But it was it was. 388 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 3: It was a good cast of characters, and I think 389 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 3: everybody felt very similarly. You know, it was a really 390 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 3: good defensive football game. It didn't come away feeling that 391 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: the offenses were inept. 392 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: There was no frustration I did. 393 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 3: I didn't feel that way. I didn't feel that way. 394 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 3: I didn't have a way feeling that the offenses were inept. 395 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 3: And I felt like in the past and nine to 396 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 3: six Alabama LSU it was different to me in that respect. 397 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 3: I felt like the defense has just played such a good, 398 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 3: hard nosed game that I didn't really want to see 399 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 3: either team lose. 400 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: Obviously, somebody's got to win, But. 401 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 3: To me, I was sort of surprised by the fact 402 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 3: that I was that latched onto latched into a game 403 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 3: that was so low scoring and so defensive minded. 404 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 1: Yeah. 405 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 2: I mean, look, Georgia opened the game three of their 406 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 2: first four drives. Three of their first four drives, three 407 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: plays for no yards, three plays for one yard, and 408 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 2: after going way down the field of kicking the field goal, 409 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 2: which I wasn't a huge fan of, three plays for 410 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: two yards, three three and outs, like they were trying 411 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: to throw the ball. Like there was something about Georgia's 412 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 2: offense in the first half. I don't know if inept 413 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 2: is the right word, but it was like, I don't 414 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: know if this offense is ready for this moment. I 415 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 2: don't know if Stetson Bennett is ready for this moment, 416 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 2: I don't know what this Georgia offense would look like 417 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: with a quarterback twenty five percent physically better to physically 418 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 2: better and ready to dominate this game. Because you knew 419 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 2: the windows were going to be tight against Alabama, both 420 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 2: in terms of timing, with Will Anderson being fully unblockable 421 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 2: against this Georgia team. Even in the best of times 422 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 2: for this Georgia offense, Will Anderson was fully unblockable, And 423 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 2: so I kind of. 424 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: Did get that sense. 425 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 2: I know that we can agree that it was a 426 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 2: good game going into halftime, yeah, just because we didn't 427 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 2: have an idea, we didn't have a concept of the 428 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 2: rhythms of the second half. But also, like this, let's 429 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: not pretend like it was the most entertaining first half 430 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 2: in terms of like slugging back and forth and like, 431 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 2: oh man, George Pickens for thirty brought Bauers for twenty seven, 432 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 2: Jermaine Burton for forty four, Like then wasn't really like 433 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 2: I don't know, I see what you're saying, and I 434 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 2: agree that it was a good game, but there was 435 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 2: some like oh man, I don't know how many more 436 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 2: of these drives I can watch, well, there were nine punts, right. 437 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 3: It wasn't as if it was some sort of offensive explosion. 438 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: It wasn't. 439 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 3: Right. These are two offenses that, at varying points throughout 440 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 3: the game picked their spots and were able to take 441 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 3: advantage of field position or or mistakes or what have you, 442 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 3: and convert those into points. Now, Georgia ultimately was able 443 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 3: to get out ahead because of some of those mistakes. 444 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 3: But thirty three to eighteen's your final score. There were 445 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 3: plenty of moments in this game where we were talking 446 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 3: on our stream, like, geez, we can very easily a 447 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 3: scenario in which this thing goes to overtime, it goes 448 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 3: to penalty kicks, right, Like, it was such a defensive 449 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 3: minded game that it wouldn't have surprised anyone if it 450 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 3: ended up tied and we ended up going into overtime 451 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 3: with this thing. So I give Stets and Bennett a 452 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 3: lot of credit. I give him credit for, you know, 453 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 3: had the mistake. I suppose that could have happened to 454 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 3: anybody with the way you know, they rule out of 455 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 3: fumble and suddenly Alabama's within striking distance. 456 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: Sixteen yard line. 457 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 3: I want to say, yeah, I mean the tough break, right, 458 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 3: You know that could go sort of either way. But 459 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 3: I give Stets and Bennett and the Georgia offense credit 460 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 3: for finding a way where for a large chunk of 461 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 3: that game it didn't feel like they really had no 462 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 3: a cohesive offensive strategy, Like they tried trick plays. The 463 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 3: trick plays went for intentional groundings. 464 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: Yep. 465 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 3: Like it wasn't as if the game plan worked. I 466 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 3: think it was really just the offense finding its spots 467 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 3: after the defense was just dominant. Right, The defense came 468 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 3: to play here for the Georgia Bulldogs in the way 469 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 3: it had all season. 470 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: I would go as far as saying that if you 471 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 2: were to look at this game and say, there were 472 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 2: breaks in this game, like who got what break? And 473 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 2: not all of this is luck? But like the two 474 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 2: like was it or was it not? 475 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: A fumble? 476 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: They both go to Alabama. Georgia has the fumble late 477 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 2: in the game. Alabama has the later picks, but like. 478 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: Who is that? 479 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 2: Like, Georgia was able to absorb so much more in 480 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 2: a way that like, I think they were the more 481 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 2: penalized team, right, they had ten penalties that went for 482 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 2: how many yards? 483 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: Whatever? 484 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 2: It was seventy some on yards probably something like that, 485 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: Like Alabama had seven. Like Georgia had to withstand an 486 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator that was sort of not making sense as 487 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: you were alluding to, right, Like there were things lining up. 488 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: Stetson Bennett as you also mentioned, had a crossover dribble, 489 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 2: He had this amaz run on second and long or 490 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 2: something like that. 491 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: You wole Alan Ivers sit on that man. 492 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 2: So just like think about the theme the things that 493 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 2: Georgia had to overcome, both of its own doing and 494 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: of just like could potentially go either way bang bang calls, right, 495 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 2: the intentional grounding or the the fumbles or the lack 496 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: there up whatever. Like it was just like, if you're 497 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 2: a Georgia fan watching this game, you have to be 498 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,479 Speaker 2: you had to be saying to yourself, can we just 499 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 2: not get one thing to go our way? Can we 500 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 2: just not have a false start and a key moment once? 501 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 2: Like they are able to do that. I mean, that's 502 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 2: just I think it speaks largely to the defense that 503 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: they're just so dominant and so able to control the 504 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: game that ultimately being able to absorb those things is 505 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 2: just kind of second nature. 506 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: And so it is. 507 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 2: It's like if I don't know what like the second 508 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 2: order win is for this game, Like how many times 509 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 2: out of one hundred does Alabama win this game with 510 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 2: these stats and this number of penalties whatever? But like 511 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 2: I would imagine Georgia fans were probably more upset watching 512 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 2: this game until the end than maybe Alabama fans. So 513 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: kind of an incredible thing to watch because I just 514 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 2: I had no idea, you know, eighteen thirteen, nineteen eighty, 515 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 2: I had no idea, was like, oh, clearly this is 516 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 2: the team who's gonna win this game, because it just 517 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 2: seemed like anytime one team had something, oh fall start, 518 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 2: oh intentional grounding, oh pass interference, oh like sack in 519 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 2: a huge spot, like there was just there was no 520 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 2: rhythm at any point until that fourth quarter. So I 521 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 2: mean that's the hallmark of a great game. But man, 522 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 2: I if I were a fan of one of these teams, 523 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: it would just not have been fun. 524 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: Well it was. It was a tough one either way. 525 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the Georgia Bulldogs obviously ended up pulling 526 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 3: through in the end here fifteen point win, but there 527 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 3: were plenty of moments where if Alabama had found that spark. 528 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: Sure, if it was hall if it was Jacory Brooks, 529 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 2: if that was the receiver, and we were you know, 530 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 2: we were talking about this during the game that like 531 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 2: in that you know, the Tua second and twenty six game, 532 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 2: it was like all these young dudes who were not 533 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 2: household names stepping up. They had all these reps with Tua, 534 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: they were comfortable with him, and DeVante Smith ultimately makes 535 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: that play. Would it be one of those guys to 536 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: be this year's version and so on the table? It 537 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 2: was definitely on the table. And by the way, should 538 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 2: be said, and this is all due respect to Georgia 539 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 2: who It's an incredible story and incredible defense, incredible coaching staff, players, 540 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 2: the narrative, stets avent it, all of it is terrific. 541 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 2: How close was the worst Nick Saban Alabama team of 542 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 2: the past few years to winning a national championship against 543 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 2: an all all, all all time defense. That's wild. That 544 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 2: is just it's something that'll get lost in everything, but 545 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 2: like just a low point, that's all relative, a low 546 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 2: point for Alabama almost just won the National championship on 547 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 2: the offensive line of the defensive backfield at times, and 548 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: there were just brutal moments in the penalties like it's 549 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 2: just id. I don't know, man, what a wild sport, 550 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 2: what a wild game? 551 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 1: Wild game? 552 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely so, just to run through a couple of the 553 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 3: key stats in this game too, I'm ready fully close 554 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 3: the loop. I mentioned Stetson Bennett earlier to twenty four 555 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 3: to two touchdowns. I mentioned Bryce Young three sixty nine 556 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 3: to one touchdown, two picks on the ground, Brian Robinson 557 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 3: twenty two for sixty eight is long as sixteen, so 558 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 3: mostly held in check by this very good Georgia defense. 559 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: Zamir White. We were on the stream, by. 560 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 3: The way, with our friend Jeff Schwartz, who you do 561 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 3: big boy bets with. Yep, he had Zamir White at 562 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 3: nine to one to score the first touchdown in this game. 563 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 3: That didn't come until very late in the football game. 564 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,239 Speaker 3: But the first touchdown did go to Zamir White, who 565 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 3: had thirteen carries for eighty four yards and that one touchdown. 566 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 3: James Cook, who we had called out in our preview episode, 567 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: six carries for seventy seven yards, although sixty seven of 568 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 3: those came on one carry. How long run Now, Georgia 569 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 3: did a pretty good job of dispersing the football to 570 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 3: a variety of receivers, right, it was cursing the football. Yeah, yeah, 571 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 3: I mean nine different receivers. George Pickens had the long 572 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 3: of fifty two. But yep, by and large, it was 573 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 3: a bunch of guys who caught a handful of passes. 574 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 3: Brock Bowers the main target, just thirty six yards, but 575 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 3: had the touchdown late in the football game. 576 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: My boy Cameron Lattau. 577 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 3: Led Alabama and receiving after Jameson Williams went down five catch. 578 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: You push that over? Yeah, I would have hit the over. 579 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 3: I couldn't bet it again because of the rules here 580 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 3: in PA. But it bothers me because not only did 581 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 3: he hit the over, but he also scored a touchdown, yes, 582 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 3: five for one oh two and a touchdown Jamison Williams 583 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 3: sixty five yards before he went. 584 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 2: Down, largely on that that injury play. No, and we 585 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: something that repeating is I mean, as you go through 586 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: the stats, the star power receiver, right, it just in 587 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 2: previous years, what the LSU guys, the BAMA guys, the 588 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: Clemson guys, justin Ross T. Higgins, Amari Rodgers, going back, 589 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 2: you know, Jordan Leggatt, like all these guys that were 590 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 2: just like oh Man wham wam wyam wham Haymaker after 591 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: Haymaker to these like six three monsters. That wasn't the tenor. 592 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 2: That wasn't the rhythm of tonight's game at all. And 593 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 2: I think it'll get back to that in the coming 594 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 2: years when you look at the teams who should continue 595 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 2: to compete for this this trophy, but no, a different 596 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 2: kind of game. You know, Brock Bauers and Cameron Littwo 597 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 2: and Slade Bolden and I don't know how you pronounce 598 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 2: his first name Hall for Alabama that it was just 599 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 2: it was not on the arms, was not on the 600 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 2: shoulders of the playmakers out wide in the way that 601 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 2: we've gotten used to these past few years where it's 602 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 2: just like, I mean, that's what we call them Winter Wonders, 603 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,719 Speaker 2: that these guys that win you the games in January, 604 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 2: that can weather incredible NFL defensive backs and pass rushes 605 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 2: that like man, they've just like you don't get guys 606 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 2: like this everywhere else in the sport. They concentrate on 607 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 2: these three or four teams and end up playing in January, 608 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 2: and this has been the showcase game for those guys 609 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 2: and just wasn't tonight And that's okay, still got a 610 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 2: great game out of it, but different if we zoom out, Dan, Yeah, 611 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 2: what does this mean? What does this win for Georgia 612 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 2: mean when we wake up tomorrow morning. It's the culmination. 613 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 2: It's the culmination of you know, Kirby Smart comes in, 614 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 2: I think what twenty sixteen, he overhauls the Georgia program 615 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 2: and turns them into a recruiting powerhouse. I don't know 616 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 2: if it means that he's fully solved quarterback where he's 617 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 2: had issues. You go back to Easton and from and 618 00:31:55,320 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 2: the justin field situation JT. Daniels an injury, like they've 619 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 2: got quarterback or they have a quarterback or quarterbacks in 620 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 2: the future. But damn, it's just like the student becomes 621 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 2: the master. And it's not as if Georgia came out 622 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 2: of nowhere. This has been building and they've had the 623 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 2: talent level to beat basically everybody, but couldn't ultimately get 624 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 2: over the top. And it's a confirmation of everything that 625 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 2: Kirby Smart has done in terms of hiring guys, recruiting 626 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 2: the waves, the way that they've played. There's work to 627 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 2: be done because we saw that with Alabama specifically, it 628 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 2: took them really, you know what, hiring Lane Kiffen and 629 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 2: saying like this is what you guys need to do 630 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 2: to modernize your offense and really weaponize. That's the next 631 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 2: step I think for Georgia to get that quarterback, whoever 632 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 2: that is. In all due respect to Stetson, Bennett's probably 633 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 2: not him. So whoever that quarterback is and whatever that 634 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 2: offense is, that's the next step to build the Georgia 635 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 2: death Star. No, it's a confirmation of everything that george 636 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 2: has done because they won this game in an especially 637 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 2: Georgia way. 638 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:15,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, they sort of out alabamaed old Alabama. Yeah, in 639 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 3: many respects, and I think it's really meaningful from a 640 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 3: fans standpoint to just see somebody else win. 641 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Georgia fans like, how how close have 642 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 2: they gotten? They've flown pretty close to the sun and 643 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 2: hasn't been to be that's not English, but so much 644 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 2: of the sport. 645 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 3: Right now is dictated by the fact that fans are 646 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 3: sick of seeing the same teams in there. 647 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: Now. 648 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 3: I get that Georgia Georgia Georgia is not exactly yeah 649 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 3: from that conversation, but Georgia hasn't won since nineteen eighty. Yeah, 650 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 3: and so to have a new champion that's meaningful, that's 651 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 3: meaningful in college football. It will certainly ratchet up the 652 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 3: pressure elsewhere in the SEC, especially in the SEC East, 653 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 3: as it's been so much turmoil now on that side 654 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 3: of the conference. But to finally get over the hump, 655 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 3: if you're Kirby Smart, if you're Georgia and beat Nick Saban, 656 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 3: that's very meaningful. And so I think from that standpoint, 657 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 3: you know, I didn't pick Alabama to win this game. 658 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 3: Regardless of whether I picked Georgia or not to win 659 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 3: in the beginning of the season, Who cares. I just 660 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 3: think it's a really cool moment for Georgia Bulldogs fans 661 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 3: because sure, finally they get over this sump. They're able 662 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 3: to knock off Nick Saban, They're able to get to 663 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 3: the Promised Land in a really good game, a really 664 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,919 Speaker 3: good game, like the full way through was very much 665 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 3: dictated by defense, and in the end they were able 666 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 3: to break it open. But I'm very pumped for this 667 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 3: fan base that they get to share this moment. 668 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great for Georgia fans. I don't know how 669 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 2: great it is for the sport. I mean, it just 670 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 2: reinforces everything that has sort of happened in terms of 671 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 2: concentration of talented place like Georgia and Alabama and Ohio State, 672 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 2: and obviously you have oh little old LSU who's pouring 673 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 2: five hundred trillion dollars into their program as well. Like 674 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 2: it's big picture, just another one of the juggernauts of 675 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 2: the sport winning the biggest trophy in the sport. But 676 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 2: it's not Nick Saban, it's not Alabama. It's new, but 677 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 2: it's only kind of new to me. So it's uh, yeah, 678 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 2: cool for Georgia fans, but I don't think that it changes, 679 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,879 Speaker 2: Like this wasn't TCU Louisville in. 680 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: The National Championship. 681 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, it reinforces a lot of what is to 682 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 2: me kind of an unsolvable issue at the top of 683 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 2: the sport. But that's okay because we got a good 684 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 2: football game and taking in isolation, I'm pro good football games. Yeah, 685 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 2: and I think that was really our perspective coming into 686 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 2: this game. Yeah, we both took opposite sides of the coin. 687 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 3: Here. You were on Georgia because you're a hopeless romantic, 688 00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 3: as I said, of course. 689 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the little guy in the Georgia Boldhawks. 690 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, the true David in this matchup. I was on Alabama. 691 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,359 Speaker 3: I lost some money on Alabama tonight. I'm not gonna win. 692 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: Sorry to hear it. I lost some money. 693 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 3: But you know, in the end, I think we just 694 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 3: wanted a good game and we got that. 695 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 1: We very much got that. For the vast majority of 696 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 1: this game. It was very close. It was very defensive. 697 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 3: Minded, and in the end, like we've been saying time 698 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 3: and again, here is just a few key moments that 699 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 3: ultimately swing things one direction of it. 700 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 2: It was a good TV show, Ty, it was a 701 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,280 Speaker 2: good Ultimately, it was a good TV show.
