Georgia coach Kirby Smart said he was trying to get defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann's attention when he shoved Mississippi State quarterback Michael Van Buren Jr. in the fourth quarter of a 41-31 victory at Sanford Stadium on Saturday.

Smart shoved Van Buren after the freshman was pushed out of bounds on Georgia's sideline by safety Dan Jackson at the end of a 6-yard run with 2:55 left in the game.

Smart took off his visor and was yelling at someone on Georgia's sideline when Van Buren ran into his path.
