Everything Georgia Head Coach Kirby Smart Said After the Bulldogs’ 27-24 Loss

ATLANTA — In the 2023 SEC Championship game, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart spoke with the media following his team’s 27-24 loss to No. 8 Alabama.

Introduction:

“I’ll start like I always do. Playing in the SEC championship creates an incredible atmosphere. It’s simply electric, really, and I’ve coached in this every year. I believe it’s fantastic that we can participate in it.

Both crowds were really into the game, a lot of momentum swings like we thought. A field goal that hits the dang upright after an off-sides. We spotted them 10 just off of a turnover, a touchdown on a busted coverage by a freshman.

When you give good teams those things, they’re going to be hard to beat. But, man, am I proud of our fight and resiliency. Two times I guess we’re down 10 or three times we’re down 10, offense battles back, never quits, “never say die” attitude.
