Kirby Smart's diagnosis of the Georgia Bulldogs? There's a "disease." His words.
In the aftermath of Georgia's 26-14 win over Baylor in the Sugar Bowl on Wednesday, a reporter asked about the contributions from underclassmen Zamir White and George Pickens and how that positions the program going forward.
"To be honest with you, the future is only bright if those guys continue to work because there's a disease that creeps in at Georgia where kids believe they're better than they are and they read their own press clippings," he said.
