Game of the week, if not year, is about to take place in Tuscaloosa. Alabama and Georgia are set to battle in Bryant-Denny Stadium, being the first-ever matchup between Kalen DeBoer and Kirby Smart. ESPN has been in town for the entire weekend with the game set to be broadcasted on ABC.

Unfortunately, there have been some audio technical difficulties in the booth. Thankfully only during the pregame show, Herbstreit was in the middle of talking about the stakes on the line. And then all of a sudden, people at home cannot hear the ESPN analyst.

“Both of these teams have so much pride,” Herbstreit began. “And they want to be the big dog. They want to be the bar in college football. It’s a great discussion –“

From there, the audio from Herbstreit is cut off. Fowler begins to talk shortly after but nothing is coming from his end either. The ESPN broadcast then puts up a graphic discussing the win streak Georgia is and nothing is heard behind it. Eventually, Fowler comes back after around 20 seconds of silence.

Seemingly everybody in the college football world is in Tuscaloosa this weekend. Even former President Donald Trump will be at the game, set to make an appearance at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Having some troubles due to the number of people in town is not too big of a surprise.

For the rest of us watching at home, hopefully, the audio issues do not bleed over into the game broadcast, getting to hear the great commentary of Fowler and Herbstreit.

Mykell Williams set to play against Alabama

Star Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams appears set to play against Alabama on Saturday night, making his return from an ankle injury. Williams was listed as a “game time decision” on the final injury report.

During pregame warmups, Williams appeared to participate in all the drills with his teammates. And while he is apparently available, Williams is not expected to play a full snap load in his return for the Bulldogs, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel.

Williams has been out since early in the season with a sprained ankle. On Saturday morning, it was reported his status would be determined shortly before kickoff.
