Georgia Football: Discipline, one of the biggest differences since Kirby Smart took over

Georgia football hired Kirby Smart in December 2015 to take over the head coaching job from Mark Richt.

There has been a lot said recently about how alike Richt and Smart started their careers at Georgia.

However, were they really all that similar? One of the big things that stuck out to me under Richt was the abundance of penalties.

The lack of discipline was obvious. Richt was quick to discipline a player that stepped out of line off the field, but he was soft on mistakes on it.

In contrast, I’ve seen Smart reem a player for a mistake in a game where Georgia had a 30 point lead.
