What Georgia football coach Kirby Smart said about South Carolina

Kirby Smart on South Carolina: I’ve been very impressed with them. I think they’re playing a lot better. They’ve gotten better throughout the year, you can tell from Game 1 to Game 2. They’re healthier, number one. They’ve got a lot of guys playing at a high level. I’ve got a lot of respect for the way Will [Muschamp] runs the program. I think they’re doing a really good job. Both coordinators really get after you. They put pressure on you in three phases — offense, defense, and special teams. They do a great job up front. Defensively, they’ve got a lot of big guys and a lot more big bodies than they’ve had in the past, and they’re healthy.

Offensively, they’ve got one of the best wide receivers that I’ve seen on tape in Bryan Edwards. He does a very good job. [Ryan] Hilinski is a very talented quarterback. We recruited him hard here. He’s got extreme arm talent. He can make all the throws. And they’re doing a lot of things that are tough to defend offensively, and they put pressure on you from a special teams standpoint.

Kirby Smart on the 2017 Georgia football-South Carolina game: “I’ve always looked at it as we want to be aggressive, and not be the one receiving the blow. We want to be the hammer and not the nail, and that’s how we go about things. We’re aggressive, if we think something’s there, whether it’s starting the game off against South Carolina two years ago, or it’s fourth-down and 1, it doesn’t matter, if we think it’s there and we think we’ve got an advantage we always try to look. We want to keep pressure on the other team. And you keep pressure on the other team by looking for strengths of yours or weaknesses of theirs that you think you can take advantage of. But we’re always trying to be the hunter and not the hunted.”

Kirby Smart on South Carolina and Georgia recruiting: “It’s a challenge everywhere. It’s not just a challenge at South Carolina or that it’s not a challenge for us. The Southeastern Conference and the area we have a 10-, 12-hour radius around the city of Atlanta, and you talk about the teams that are in that area, there’s a lot of good football players. I think the teams that do well…are the ones that recruit to a culture, recruit to a format, and they have a certain criteria they look for in recruits, and they go find the best ones that fit their program. Then, they develop them. That’s important. You’re not going to win every single recruiting battle, none of us are. You got to go recruit the right kind of kids and do a good job of evaluating them. I think they do that at South Carolina. They do a good job of getting the right guys in their program. To be able to sustain success is tough anywhere in these conferences because there’s so many good programs.”
