The 1997 game, which Smart had two interceptions, was the only time UGA beat Florida during Steve Spurrier’s tenure (1990-2001). Smart played defensive back at UGA from 1995-98.
Smart’s last time coaching in the rivalry came in 2005, when he was the running backs coach on the staff of his predecessor, Mark Richt.
