After losing second-leading receiver John Metchie III with a season-ending knee injury in the SEC Championship game win over the Dawgs, they saw another one of their superstars go down early Monday in the national title game. Streaking unimpeded down the middle of the field on a yard catch, Biletnikoff Award finalist Jameson Williams went to make a move, but his knee planted and turned awkwardly in a non-contact injury. He writhed in pain and didn't put weight on the leg as he was helped off the field but did hobble to the locker room under his own power.
The Ohio State transfer didn't return, either. This injury bugaboo in the receiving corps is all too familiar for Nick Saban in recent history. Not only did Metchie go down, but remember Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith suffered a gruesome finger injury in last year's title game that took him out. Unlike Smith—who'd amassed 12 receptions for yards and three touchdowns in the first half of last year's dominant win against the Buckeyes—Williams didn't get to post monster numbers before exiting, but he was on his way.
That was his fourth grab for 65 yards early in the second quarter. The Tide were forced to go deep into its talent pool to keep the pass-catchers coming for Bryce Young.
But they unfortunately were left to deal with a big loss and hope one of their stars didn't have a lasting injury yet again. Maybe it's time for college kickers to have their time to shine in the spotlight—perhaps a NIL deal for a gym promoting "leg day" or something.
After Monday's national championship game, companies should strike while the iron's hot. In a game that featured offensive stars like Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young, Alabama receiver Jameson Williams, Georgia freshman phenom tight end Brock Bowers and elite pass-catcher George Pickens, kickers Will Reichard and Jack Podlesny got a foot in the door at center stage at least in the first half.
At halftime of the title game, it was Alabama, thanks to three Reichard field goals, including a yarder. Podlesny made both of his opportunities, too, including a season-long kick of 49 yards. The good vibes faltered a bit in the second half when Georgia's Jalen Carter blocked a Reichard kick that could have put Bama up by six.
It was that kind of night for miscues, even if most of them didn't happen on special teams. UGA coach Kirby Smart was in no mood for praise at the break, though. He'd just watched his team continually make costly penalties that kept them behind the chains and fail to muster much offensively. Alabama didn't do much better, stalling time and time again and settling for three points. You're not going to have a good football team when you do that.
Hey, I'll take it. It's a happy day for Alan Wake fans, as next was an announcement and teaser trailer for Alan Wake 2. It's been long-rumored but never confirmed -- until now. It's coming and will be more survivor horror than survivor action, as the first game was.

We're about to see the trailer, but first, Jim Carrey will appear via prerecorded video.
I have no idea but that was all about, but OK, that was Jim Carrey, everyone. Don't grate it in the grinder, indeed. The trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 brings back Sonic and Dr. Robotnik, and introduces Tails. There's some stuff with the Chaos Emeralds and Sonic trying to control his powers, as well as a respectable amount of slapstick.
If you liked the first film, this should be up your alley. Thanks to RejectedJokes and JimCarrey for presenting this during the show. Here's some gameplay footage from Horizon Forbidden West , which is still on track for a February release.
