On the latest episode and BONUS episode of The Solid Verbal (with SmartFootball’s Chris B. Brown), Dan and Ty dissect the College Football National Championship matchup between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs by talking the following topics, among others:

• How will Georgia respond if Alabama is able to contain Georgia running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel, and thus force quarterback Jake Fromm to fully lead the way against the dangerous Tide defense?

• What are the questions that surround Alabama QB Jalen Hurts as he and the Alabama offense prepare for a Georgia defense that’s been generally excellent, despite being a bit leaky vs. Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma last week in the Rose Bowl?

• Why is Georgia offensive coordinator Jim Chaney the ultimate wild card in a matchup headlined by the defensive familiarity between Alabama head coach Nick Saban and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart?

• How must Georgia think about this game to give itself the best possible shot at an underdog win?

• With both Alabama and Georgia recently pulling off huge special teams plays in huge moments, what types of plays will be huge in determining the little things in this game?

• Are there any extreme edges on either side of the ball?

*AND*

On a bonus national championship preview episode, Dan is joined by Chris B. Brown of SmartFootball.com to talk about the defensive philosophies and overlapping principles of Saban and Smart’s defense, young QB preparation, the universal potential of Saban’s defense, and how much or little can be prepared for a week after very different opponents in the College Football Playoff semifinal.
