What Kirby Smart said after Georgia's victory over Auburn

While it wasn’t pretty, Georgia’s 13-7 victory over No. 9 may have been head coach Kirby Smart’s signature victory up to this point in his Athens tenure.

Buoyed by a staunch effort by its front seven, Georgia held Auburn to less than 40 yards of offense in the second half.

Freshman signal-caller Jacob Eason made the requisite throws, and RB Nick Chubb ran to the tune of 101 yards on 23 carries.

Smart addressed the media after the game:
