Comments
This is one of those games that makes powerhouse conference head coaches sweat. Kirby Smart knows that UAB is a dangerous opponent. I’m sure he’s harping this point at his players. The thing is coaches do that for every opponent, even the worst of the worst opponents so how do players know when to take a coach seriously? This is especially tough coming off a very exhilarating win over Clemson. I think Georgia wins this one but it’ll be closer than most expected.
