Joel Klatt on Jameson Williams, Alabama
Joel Klatt brought the fire regarding the injury to Jameson Williams in the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship. According to Klatt, it was trending towards an Alabama victory prior to the injury Williams suffered.
After the game, Klatt joined The Herd with Colin Cowherd to explain his thoughts.
“It was trending in that direction,” Klatt responded, as Colin Cowherd stated Alabama would’ve won if Williams didn’t get hurt. “Alabama was executing at a level that was going to allow them to win the game when he was still available.
“I think he had four catches, 64 (yards) if I’m not mistaken, and it’s still early in the game when he gets hurt. It was pretty clear Georgia didn’t have an answer anymore. He was well on his way to 150, 175 yards receiving. Maybe even 200 yards receiving.”
Georgia had no answer for Williams in the SEC Championship, as the star wide receiver reeled in seven receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns. If he didn’t tear his ACL, perhaps he was on his way to a sequel.
