Georgia football podcast: Kirk Herbstreit explains why Nick Saban will root against UGA

Beginning of the show: Georgia is preparing for a showdown with LSU in the SEC championship game, and Alabama coach Nick Saban will be cheering for the Tigers in the matchup according to ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit. A UGA win against LSU would damage the Crimson Tide’s Playoff hopes. I’ll explain on today’s show why disappointing Saban should make a potential SEC championship game win even sweeter for UGA fans.
