What Georgia football coach Kirby Smart said about Missouri

Kirby Smart on Missouri: 

“Barry Odom and his staff have done a tremendous job. Got a lot of respect for him. He’s a guy that I share a lot of ideas with and discuss a lot of things with when we are at SEC meetings, very similar to me, a defensive guy and also coaching his alma mater. I think he’s done a great job motivating this team, and putting them in a good situation.

They are extremely physical. They are a tough match-up from their defensive perspective because they are so big and physical up front. You look historically against us, they have done a really good job. They are top probably 15 in the country in almost every defensive category and they do a good job of that.

Their offense has been very explosive. They are tied for the most plays over 50 yards in our conference and they have done a good job of that. They have a tight end and stuff to match-up with and a quarterback that’s played in a lot of big football games. Have a lot of respect for what they have done and I know coming off an off-week, they will be ready and prepared.”

Kirby Smart on Kelly Bryant:

“We’ll prepare for his style, which he’s a really good athlete. They run him. He’s got quarterback runs. They make you count extra hats in the box when he’s a quarterback run guy. In a lot of ways, they can be like Lynn (Bowden, Jr.) from Kentucky with a really good passer back there. Now you’re defending two things. That’s tough. And the quarterback run element is always hard to prepare for, but he has a lot of experience in big games. It’s not like he hasn’t played in big games and been in these kind of stadiums. Been in the SEC and also playing at Clemson. Got a lot of respect for the way he plays. He plays with toughness, passion, runs the ball, scrambles, makes a bunch of throws. Really good player.”

On Missouri’s unique game-style and techniques”

“It probably helps the coaches more than the players because we go back and pull the tape on Sunday, and say, ‘Remember we worked these guys for a period during the day,’ and we watch it analyze it. A lot of players don’t remember what they did about week ago to be honest with you. We will show them the tape and it triggers memories and things like that—calls you make and the rules you make. So we have to do that with these guys.”
