Kirby Smart tackles tough questions, second guessing after 23-10 Sugar Bowl loss
Kirby Smart had some tough answers for the hard questions he was dealt after Georgia’s 23-10 Sugar Bowl loss to Notre Dame.

Another contributing factor was the lack of creative play calling from Bobo. He had a QB starting for the first time and had 3 weeks plus to come up with a game plan that would play to Stockton's talents. I didn't see designed bootlegs, or runs behind the offensive line or any sort of trickery that could turn the tide in the game. What I did see was an offensive line that was totally unprepared for the undersized, yet aggressive ND defensive line. It was a cryin shame how little protection Stockton was given in his first start. No one on the OL was free of guilt. It was a real crap show. I was however, very impressed with Stockton's long throws…he seemed to have a better deep ball then Beck. Someone should tell Dillion Bell that. SMH
The attention to “go two minute” with 39 seconds left from your own 25 was not a good idea. Did we not lean anything from the last play of the first half against Texas? Apparently not.
I don’t agree. I attribute it to piss poor offensive line play and even worse piss poor offensive play calling. Go Dawgs!
the decision not attention.
Why hasn’t anyone asked Kirby why he didn’t have the kicker kick the ball in the end zone?
nd offense only scored 3fg's we outgained them tuff when u lose to a lesser team Ohio State has an easy out
the offensive line - especially left tackle - lost this game. fire searles. They’ve been bad to middlin all season. realistically he’s the only one that Smart would let go of and he probably won’t. I also think we need to beg Muschamp to come back as co DC.
I don't have a clue about Kirby Smart's politics, but he's just like Donald Trump in at least one regard — no matter what, no matter who offers the criticism, whether valid or not, Kirby will NEVER admit he made a mistake or made the wrong decision. I'm all for playing aggressive football, but come on now, use some common sense. In the first 29 minutes and 21 seconds of the game, our offense had managed a measley three (3) points. What in the world made Kirby think we would suddenly come up with an offensive explosion in all of 39 seconds, from deep in our own territory, no less. It just didn't make sense, and I was there in person. I don't think that ANYONE would have said we lacked confidence in Stockton going in at the half down only 6-3. It just wasn't sound football, especially with an inexperienced QB who was playing OK but certainly not great, and Kirby should just own that. And I'm still smh over the second half kickoff? Was that short intentionally? If not, was his leg tired? We do not cover kickoff runbacks well, we haven't for years now. Remember, we mishit the second-half kickoff against Texas in Austin and that led to their momentary comeback in that game. Nothing we can do about it now, but I'd just like to know.
He's really just defending the decision to protect his buddy Bobo.
Address those issues (I think the coaches tried, but had bad luck on 1 and 3) and we are right back in there contending next year.
