Georgia football podcast: Nolan Smith makes interesting admission about UGA’s championship season

Beginning of the show: Georgia played with a chip on its shoulder for much of the 2022 season along the way to a second consecutive national championship. Many on the team have acknowledged that they were fueled by doubters. However, the source of some of that motivation was apparently exaggerated according to former Bulldogs outside linebacker Nolan Smith, who admitted during a podcast interview this week that he made up some of the more outlandish claims about disrespect that he shared with his teammates. I’ll share what Smith said on today’s show and discuss the possibility that more doubters could emerge for UGA this season.

15-minute mark: I share audio of UGA quarterbacks Carson Beck and Brock Vandagriff, who met with the media on Tuesday night.

20-minute mark: DawgNation’s Mike Griffith joins the show.
