Following a critical road win over a hot Kentucky team, Georgia coach Kirby Smart was confronted with a question about the youth of his offensive line.
There was a point in the Bulldogs' win where the unit was comprised of three freshmen and two sophomores. "Do you have any nervousness about that?" a reporter queried.
As Smart processed the thought, he took a pronounced breath, squinted his eyes in an almost pained expression and shook his head.
"It's crazy," he said.
In the SEC, it is. And if the No. 5 Dawgs are to repeat as conference champions, they'll have to rely heavily on that youth and a pair of emerging running backs -- junior Elijah Holyfield and sophomore D'Andre Swift -- to do what many teams find difficult-to-impossible: run on No.
