Kirby Smart met the assembled press corps following George’s 26–22 victory over Missouri, and as usual the Bulldogs head coach had some candid thoughts to share about his team, including:
* Effusive praise for Jack Podlesny, who darn well deserved it. An interesting aspect of this game for an uninterested observer was that it was a true three phase football game. Georgia and Missouri battled on offense, defense, and special teams. If the Bulldogs had fallen short in the kicking game, they never would’ve had a chance to take the lead late.
* The difference between your 11 best, and your best 11.
