In the words of the immortal Lewis Grizzard: “Frankly, I don’t want to talk about it.”
Unlike Lewis, I’m going to anyway. It’s tempting to view this game as a referendum on Kirby Smart and Georgia football writ large and to rend your garments and wail.
I would resist that temptation. Tonight Georgia faced an Alabama team that made every play it needed to make, with the best quarterback in the country, and got a few great bounces. That was what it took to win a contest of heavyweights.
We wondered all season if a secondary that lost so many players to the NFL would eventually be exposed by a high-powered offense.
