The Jameson Williams injury was massive: It's hard to say whether the outcome would've been different, but you can't ignore what Williams' loss meant to the Alabama offense. Latu stepped up to fill the void, catching five passes for yards and a touchdown, but he doesn't provide the kind of home-run threat Williams offers.
Hall tried to play that role, but he caught only two of the eight passes thrown his way, and his third-quarter drop led to a series of events that turned the game around.
Williams' injury was the second straight suffered by one of Alabama's top two wide receivers against Georgia. Once Williams was hurt, Young was down his two best game breakers. Coupled with the absences of two key defensive backs on the other side of the ball, it's only fair to note that the Tide were hardly at full strength in the game. Like it or not, you may see this game plenty more: This is already the second time we've seen Alabama and Georgia play in the CFP National Championship.
I don't think it'll be the last. These are two teams built to win national titles, and they weren't even the best versions of themselves this season. While Alabama had a tremendous year, few will tell you that this was one of Saban's best teams. As for Georgia, while its defense is elite in every sense of the word, there are still holes on offense.
Bennett played capably well, but he's not a five-star game-changer type, and the Dawgs hardly had elite receivers. So not only are these two great teams, but they're two great teams that can get better. As I said, we're going to see them in this game again. Probably in the CFP, too. It might even be next season. If that doesn't help speed up playoff expansion, nothing will. Need more college football in your life?
