ATHENS —Those wanting to see what’s next from Kirby Smart and his No. 1-ranked Bulldogs need only take a listen to Smart’s post-game press conference Saturday night.

Smart allowed himself some fun, cracking inside jokes about what goes on behind the scenes in the locker room after games, and why fans and the media should go out of its way to say nice things about the players immediately after each contest!

The seventh-year Georgia head coach was in rare form, providing detailed insight into how he stopped the No. 1-ranked offense in the nation in the 27-13 win over Tennessee.

Smart said it was all about the defensive plan — which he went into greater detail on — and the unique approach Georgia took in its preparation.

Smart also called Stetson Bennett “stubborn as hell,” adding full context as to why that wasn’t such a bad thing in the win over the Vols.
