Georgia football podcast: Nolan Smith’s injury creates serious void for UGA

Beginning of the show: Georgia linebacker Nolan Smith will reportedly miss the rest of the season with a pectoral tear. Smith’s absence is about more than the production that must be replaced. I’ll discuss on today’s show why filling his void is a significant issue, but not an indication that all hope is lost.

10-minute mark: I preview the first College Football Playoff rankings -- which will be released Tuesday night.

20-minute mark: DawgNation’s Connor Riley joins the show to react to the Smith injury and to discuss the stakes for the Bulldogs in Saturday’s game vs. Tennessee.

40-minute mark: Former UGA quarterback Jake Fromm join the show to share his perspective on what makes the Vols offense challenging.

50-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including Auburn firing Bryan Harsin and Florida dismissing Brenton Cox.
