LEXINGTON, Ky. — Georgia’s 13-12 victory at Kentucky was far from an impressive performance, but the Bulldogs managed to improve to 3-0 for the season.
Georgia trailed entering the fourth quarter, yet Kirby Smart’s team found a way to win the game and make the plays when it needed to most.
Smart had plenty to discuss following Saturday’s performance, from the sluggish starts offensively to how his defense played.
Below is a full transcript of what Smart had to say.
Opening Statement…
“You know, I think I’ll open with an immense amount of respect for Coach Stoops and the atmosphere and the culture he’s created here. I tried to tell everybody all week, but nobody would listen to me. I know what this team’s made out of. I know how tough he coaches. I know several of his coaches on the staff. I’ve known him for a long time. I have tremendous respect, and when they get disrespected like they did last week and they listen to it for a week, they come out ready to play.I think our kids listened to that. I think they understood it, but I also think it’s a tough environment to play in.
