What Kirby Smart had to say following his first win over Florida at Georgia

Kirby Smart took time to celebrate with fans following a punishing 42-7 win over Florida in his first win as a head coach in the rivalry.

It was a dominant performance for Georgia that lead 21-0 after the first quarter, and kept it a shut out until late in the game. The win kept Georgia undefeated and it’s expected to move up in the College Football Playoff discussion when the first rankings are released on Tuesday.

Georgia snapped a three-game losing streak to the Gators.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart: said win over Florida is “special for our fan base who is starving for some success against Florida.”
