BATON ROUGE, La. — Coach Kirby Smart challenged his football team from the start to step up and meet the physical challenge LSU is expected to bring.
Is Georgia ready?
““I hope so, we practice physical here,” Smart said. “We’ve got pads and we’ve got players too. I think that’s something you find out. I don’t think that’s something that – you don’t know. South Carolina was a very physical game. Missouri was a physical game. Tennessee was a physical game. The SEC is a physical league.”
The Tigers, however are a top-ranked team with wins over two Top 25 teams, and they figure to be better than all of the Bulldogs’ previous opponents.
“I’m not discounting or discrediting LSU at all,” Smart said. “They’ve got a really physical, big football team.
“But we’re going to find out a lot about our team.”
