ATHENS, Georgia -- Two-time defending national champion Georgia has an opportunity this season to become the first team in 87 years to win three titles in a row, but coach Kirby Smart said Monday that he doesn't talk to his team about its opportunity to make history.
"Absolutely not," Smart said. "I just don't think you can make it about that. The minute you do that, you open yourself to distractions, adding pressure. What if it doesn't happen? What are you playing for? I mean there's just so many things that I just don't believe philosophically in doing that because what the previous two teams did (have) no bearing on this team, has no bearing.
