What did you see from him in this game that you liked and want to improve, and what went through your mind when he got that interception? One of the players that stood out was freshman Malaki Starks. Some opportunistic turnovers really helped the defense.” At the half we both had 14 1st downs and really had not stopped them like either team had wanted. Defensively we were a little more bend-but-don’t-break. I thought Coach Monken and his offensive staff had a good plan. Offensively we did execute at a high level, which when you have an experienced quarterback and you have experienced players, you can do that. Kids kind of bought into that theme, and they like playing here. That was all we talked about all week we’re going to play connected, we’re going to play aggressive, we’re going to be a hunter. We tried to talk about coming out and playing as if we were hunting, and we wanted to play connected football. KIRBY SMART: “I was really proud of the way our kids played. Could you have imagined a better execution and just performance by your offense in particular? But your defense didn't give up a touchdown today, either. I know you guys try to prepare for everything. I’ve never played here that it wasn’t a great atmosphere, and it certainly was today, for college football.” They do a tremendous job, and it’s really a credit to the people with the Chick-Fil-a Kickoff game and what they do.
KIRBY SMART: “I’d open by saying that Gary Stokan and the people in this event, the organization is first class. Here’s everything Kirby Smart said after the game: The defense played phenomenal as well, holding Oregon to just three points and picked off Bo Nix twice. Running back Kenny McIntosh had nine catches for 117 yards and one rushing touchdown. Stetson Bennett had an outstanding game, going 25/31 for 368 yards, two passing touchdowns and one rushing. The Dawgs made Dan Lanning’s first game as head coach of the Ducks one to forget, beating their former defensive coordinator 49-3. 11 ranked Oregon Ducks on Saturday in Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz Stadium. 3 Georgia delivered an absolute beatdown over the No. Look for UGA to dust off the old Nintendo to get ready for three hours of Duck Hunt on Saturday.No. Few people really think they have what it takes to run it back. The defending national champions have a loaded roster and a huge chip on their shoulder. In the age of the transfer portal, Georgia did not take on a single transfer this offseason. What is most important in Smart’s snarky and incredibly cocky comments are he has all the confidence in his guys. Again, these things do take some time to get it right, alright. He could be good one day, but even Smart went 7-5 in his first year back leading his alma mater in 2016. However, this is Lanning’s first stab at being a head coach. No, that’s not the end of the world for Nix and the Ducks, as they can still win the Pac-12 and make the College Football Playoff if they run the table afterward. Unfortunately, Nix is probably ending his college career 0-4 vs. The legacy quarterback ran around a bunch and kind of did some things (good, bad and ugly) before leaving home on The Plains for new and exciting ventures in the Pacific Northwest. Kirby Smart and his Georgia football team have no reason to fear Bo Nix one bitĪlthough Auburn has taken a turn for the worse of late, Nix didn’t exactly elevate the level of play of his former teammates around him. So I’m not worried about that.”Īlthough Oregon can upset Georgia, Smart is absolutely right in having his team focus inward. I know who the quarterback’s going to be. “That doesn’t really impact anything for us. Kirby Smart when asked about Dan Lanning not announcing Oregon's starting QB:
the Dawgs into Mercedes-Benz Stadium to see if his new Duck friends will fly together. The expectation is that former Auburn starting quarterback Bo Nix will bring his spectacular 0-3 record vs. “I know who the quarterback’s going to be. “That doesn’t really impact anything for us,” said Smart to Seth Emerson of The Athletic. When asked about his former defensive coordinator Lanning not naming a starter ahead of the Chick-fil-A Kickoff on Saturday, Smart went Terry Hoitz full-blown peacock mode with this most glorious response.
Surprise! It’s Bo Nix!ĭan Lanning might be keeping this one close to the vest, but Georgia football head coach Kirby Smart doesn’t have any time for all this Oregon quarterbacking nonsense! Kirby Smart will be too busy leading his Georgia football team to victory to care about who is starting at quarterback for former assistant Dan Lanning’s Oregon Ducks.
