Welcome to the Audible,

Oh, wow.

Welcome to the Audible presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Stuart Mandel, joined, as always by Bruce Feldman.

This is our chance to, this episode will serve as our lead-in to Monday night's Georgia, Alabama National Championship rematch.

And Bruce, you can only imagine how much time you spent calling coaches who have faced

these teams for an anonymous scouting report.

And, you know, the simplistic thing would be, hey, they played once, Georgia got blown out,

it's going to happen again.

But I gather that's not necessarily how these coaches feel.

It isn't.

I think one of the things that came up multiple times was, you know what, they, Georgia players, even if it's in the back of their mind even if

they wouldn't say this knew win or lose they're playing in the playoff and that's hard for people

to to kind of put out of their minds entirely right and so it's not to diminish what Alabama did. I think some other coaches

had pointed out. It was like it was an odd way they thought that the way Georgia tried to defend them

basically just gave Bryce Young played a tremendous game. But there's also, it was John Metchie was

there. John Metchie will not be there for Alabama in this game.

But I think we will see a different kind of Georgia come out.

It is really hard to beat a team twice.

I don't think this is Oregon against Utah.

This is a different, these are two different teams in terms of how they're built and how

they're playing.
