Fifth-ranked Georgia got seven first-half possessions against UMass a week ago.
A few hours beforehand, over in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, No. 1 Alabama had just four against The Citadel, which utilizes a triple-option offense not unlike what the Bulldogs (10-1, 7-1) will face Saturday when rival Georgia Tech comes to town (noon, SEC Network).
Good news for Georgia is the limited possessions may not matter. Since the Bulldogs’ loss to LSU on October 13, their offense has scored 36, 34, 27 and 66 points. They’re running the ball much better than they did in Baton Rouge, too.
“I thought we played better at Kentucky and then better at Auburn,” Smart said.
