Since 2011, the primetime “SEC on CBS” game has been Alabama-LSU. However, that changes this week as the network has chosen its one primetime game this season to be Notre Dame-Georgia.

For Georgia resident Brad Nessler, who lives in Duluth, it is a unique event, and so far something that has special build-up. Nessler is the play-by-play voice for the marquee SEC games on CBS alongside analyst Gary Danielson. This is Nessler’s third season with CBS, while Danielson has called games there since 2006.

“I’ve lived here for four decades and I can’t remember too many times when an on-campus home game has had this much buzz, especially a night game,” Nessler was quoted as saying by the Athens Banner-Herald. “There’s obviously been big games, SEC games. I think the fact that it’s Notre Dame has taken on kind of a life of its own.”

It’s easily one of the most anticipated nonconference games this season, and a special event not seen at Georgia in recent memory.

“Does it mean a lot to us? It does,” Nessler said. “We’ve had this marked on the calendar since we saw it. We were like, ‘OK, this is going to be fun.'”

For his part, Danielson said he tries to stay calm and clinical when it comes to explaining Xs and Os. He believes that better represents what the fans watching want to hear.

“I don’t expect them to agree all the time, but I don’t think they want a guy in there noticing all the colors and pompoms and everything like that,” he said. “That’s just not my job. I just try and stay really calm and not let the big-game atmosphere affect my duties during the game. That said, we all know it’s a big game. We know people will tune in and everything will be judged not only about the teams, but about the broadcast.”

Danielson called Georgia “probably the most impressive team on tape that I have seen. They’re just not making any mistakes right now. I’ve never seen a quarterback probably since Drew Brees that is more prepared before the snap than Jake Fromm. Then once he gets the ball, he’s pretty good, too. They are loaded.”

Danielson added that sideline reporter Jamie Erdahl would focus on the pomp and circumstance surrounding the game.

“Georgia is building a brand and building a monster, and Notre Dame just is what it is, it’s Notre Dame football for a reason,” Erdahl said. “It’s just going to be magnificent. I’m happy to have the job that day to kind of display what going on down there because I think it’s going to be a really special environment.”
