Georgia football podcast: UGA fans will love Kirby Smart’s candid comments about high expectations

Beginning of the show: Georgia coach Kirby Smart is embracing high expectations for his team in 2018 and is pushing UGA to dominate its opponents this season, according to comments made Tuesday on the first day of the Bulldogs’ spring practice. I’ll talk more about what Smart had to say and share some audio that UGA fans will enjoy on the show.

10-minute mark: Several UGA freshmen could compete for starting jobs this spring. Smart addressed that subject Tuesday, and I’ll also react to his statement.

15-minute mark: SEC Country’s Mike Johnson joins the show. Some of the topics covered include:

  • UGA’s attempt to repeat as SEC champions
  • The challenge UGA’s freshmen offensive linemen face this spring
  • A description of what freshman running back Zamir White can learn from watching while sidelined with a right knee injury and unable to participate in practice
  • Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s thumb injury
  • And graduate-transfer quarterback Gardner Minshew’s surprising decision to choose a Pac-12 program over Alabama

30-minute mark: I take a look at some other SEC headlines, including whether the Tagovailoa injury and Minshew’s decision creates a quarterback problem for Alabama, Nick Saban’s future as Crimson Tide coach, an intriguing short-term position switch for the Crimson Tide, an ACL injury for Auburn wide receiver Eli Stove and a bold claim from one LSU player about the Tigers’ quarterback competition.

End of show: I update the Gator Hater Countdown.
