What Kirby Smart had to say about Georgia football 41-34 loss to Alabama
Georgia coach Kirby Smart recaps the 41-34 loss to Alabama.

Everyone is complaining about Beck but good grief, the defense slept walked through the first half. Terrible effort. Terrible tackling. A few of the players looked like they didn’t even want to be playing.
We’re fat and happy. We’re just gonna put on those pretty, shiny, red helmets and whoop everybody, without even trying. Spend that NIL, guys. Lambos for everybody, drive them to the non-playoff bowl game.

I guess I should be thankful that the SEC couldn’t schedule us to play the Chiefs in Arrowhead.
Feels like they would have if they could have.
Our receivers have to learn how to catch the ball. I am not excusing Beck’s performance, because it was bad, but if Smith catches that long pass in the first drive, maybe it sparks the confidence. I don’t know but so many times I kept hearing “off the hands of…..” and it is sickening.
And Dan Jackson, the walk-on, was our best player on defense.
I'm as upset as anyone, BUT I am very proud of the way our guys came storming back. They never gave up! Yes, we made many mistakes. But this team had to replace Bowers, McConkey and many others. They have to find THEIR identity, and I think they did in the second half. Personally, I have reason to be optimistic.
This loss hurts, it hurts BAD. But I’m gonna Try to adopt your positive attitude. I just ain’t cut out to be a long term Debbie Downer. So it’s a long season, we have two very winnable games coming up ( just stay focused). Perhaps we can regroup, correct mistakes and finish up with a better season. I Gotta support our Dawgs win or lose. You have a great attitude I hope it infects allot of Dawgs fans. Go Dawgs !!
Clearly out coached . The team has 2 weeks to prepare and that is the way you show up ?
Bobo has got to gogo.
Smart has all these top recruiting classes yet under performs again. Defense stunk it up in the first half. Beck was a turnover machine. What is wrong with this team? It takes till halftime each week to show up.
There are so very many possible things to talk about, but I'll just mention one. The interception that Kirby says was NOT Beck's fault. OK. Then it was Arian Smith's fault. My problem with it is that in a max blitz situation, Smith HAS TO KNOW that the pass is going to come out quickly. Plus, go back and watch the entire sequence (if you can) and you can see that Beck is very clearly calling an audible. Everyone could see that. So, my question to Smith would be, since you know it's an audible, what the heck did you think he was calling? And since you could see Bama was rushing the house, why did you take off streaking downfield without even looking back? I mean, it's just fundamental football for a veteran, Power 4 wide receiver. Smith made some good catches later, but the entire game counts. Perhaps if he catches the early pass, and doesn't mess up the audible, maybe we aren't so far down later in the game. It all matters.
