Georgia LB Nolan Smith Says He Got Emotional After Losing to Alabama in SEC Championship

Georgia linebacker Nolan Smith said he got emotional after losing to Alabama in the SEC championship game in early December.

"Want the honest to God truth?" Smith told reporters on Wednesday, when asked about the team's feelings after losing to their SEC rivals just over a month ago. "I cried. I'm 20 now. I've been playing football since I was four. Sixteen years, haven't won anything. Haven't won a championship. I won a couple of bowl games but anything big, any championship I never won yet."

"And that's one thing that keeps me going. That's just something in the back of my head that I know that keeps me driving and I just want to win.
