What Georgia football coach Kirby Smart said about Alabama
On how Alabama’s offensive identity has changed if at all…
“Well, I mean, Ty’s different than Milroe, you said it. So there’s a difference in that, but he’s a really good athlete. Like, he’s a tremendous athlete. He played in games last year, and you watch all the snaps he took, and he has 60-, 70-, 80-yard runs that are running down the field outrunning good defenses. So he’s a talented player. I would say he’s probably the hottest quarterback right now in all of college football. His two last outings, I don’t know that I’ve seen a new completion — like, the ball does not hit the ground.
“He’s been accurate, he’s been quick with the ball. They’re really hard to defend because of their skill. They’ve got tremendous skill receivers, backs, tight ends, but you’ve got to have a trigger guy that can get those guys the ball and they do. And he’s seeing the field. I didn’t realize in the Florida State game that it was as messy and sloppy as the weather was at times. Like, we were playing a game during that time, so I had no idea until last week you go watch, and you’re like, oh, okay. It was a rainy, sloppy game. In the other games he’s played, there’s been no sloppiness. I mean, he’s accurate, he’s quick with the ball, he’s a good decision-maker and has made some elite throws. So they’re clicking right now offensively for sure.”
On what kind of difference playing this game at home can be for Georgia…
“Being at home is an advantage. Just as I say going on the road is hard. Going on the road last year to play the games we played, hard. Going to Tennessee a couple weeks ago was hard. Playing at home, it helps. The atmosphere helps, the crowd noise helps, being familiar with your surroundings and all that stuff helps.
“But at the end of the day, you’ve got to go play football, and it comes down to matchups, it comes down to who blocks and tackles the best, who executes and does things in the key moments of the game.So certainly glad it’s at home, but we’ve still got to play well.”
On Sanford atmosphere and if it’s a different place to play with how the athletic department has upgraded the gameday experience…
“I don’t know what, it’s hard. To what you referenced there, I mean, the toughest place to play is where the best players are. So when you have really good teams, they’re hard to play against. I don’t know that the atmosphere alone makes it that way. I mean, there’s a point of no return, like A&M, it’s really loud. I played when I coached there when I coached at Alabama. Auburn, one of the hardest places, Tennessee, one of the hardest places. I mean, they’re all hard, LSU, they’re all really hard to play. And I think ours fits in that same category of hard to play in. But it’s what you’re playing against that makes the difference. I don’t like making it about the athletic department, what kind of atmosphere they create. The fans create the atmosphere, not the athletic department. And our fans have done a great job of giving us a competitive home-field advantage that is equal to other places in the SEC.”
