What Kirby Smart said following Georgia's loss to LSU
It wasn’t simply the missed fake field goal attempt, of the play of QB Jake Fromm and whether he should have been pulled sooner.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart said there were plenty of mistakes to go around. Georgia had three turnovers in its first six games, and had four against LSU — two fumbles and two interceptions.
“We didn’t play our best game,” Smart said. “You have to give LSU credit. They are a great football team. We didn’t do well against their hurry up offense, which caused us to not be able to play as many guys as we norally do. They did a great job of mixing up their play calls with run and pass. Offensively, we had a drought and they capitalized. We didn’t come out physical today. We just have to execute better and get better overall.”
Georgia coach Kirby Smart: “We have not gotten out of this team what we should get out of them, and that’s on me as the leader, us as the coaches and then all the players got to buy into that.”

Kirby Smart on Fromm vs Fields. "It's easy to question it now & we'll look at just like everyone else…We'll always go with the guy that we think gives us the best chance to win. But let's not pin mistakes on guy tonight. There were plenty of mistakes to go around." pic.twitter.com/lVuxrK0lkF

We got whipped. Plain and simple. Congrats to LSU and Coach O.
But you were so confident with your 42-17 prediction and constant disrespect towards LSU and Burrow. He didn’t need to complete over 50% to whip UGA.
Yes, and you go into your games hoping to not get embarrassed. Humble yourself,
or let Alabama humble you.
It’s not like you will be humbling anyone. The insecure fans always show up and try to rain on parades.
Well what do you want him to do? He congratulated you.
Well, I guess some gloating is due.
Check out his previous comments. You don’t get to make multiple disparaging comments about your future opponent and then expect to get off lightly. He was classless and extremely disrespectful. He got off light. I give him credit for showing up though. A lot of the cocky UGA fans haven’t.

I can’t for the life of me understand some of the personnel and play calling decisions including but not limited to the QB spot
I would’ve like to have seen more of James Cook.
I would have liked to see more Holyfield. How did he only get 7 carries? He churned out 56 yards and was crushing John a battle over and over. The LSU defense would have worn down but they kept dropping to pass even when it wasn’t working. And yes cook would have been a great switch up to that.
The Dawgs got beat, but LSU won’t
make it to SEC championship game.
Alabama will play Georgia for the SEC Championship.
I’d rather rematch LSU than play Alabama any day of the week.
UGA hasn’t won the east….

Then again, you haven’t won the West–I was just going along with Finebomber’s predictions.

Coaching was bad. Defensive push was questionable. Too many secondary whifs. And last BUT NOT LEAST, Chaney managed to once again, miss on the use of his tight end talent amongst clearly calling the wrong plays at the wrong time. Fromm sucked this go around but hopefully, he’ll admit as much at get it together. As for Fields, “Hey Chaney! Fields can throw besides run!”. Man, what a no show this Bulldog team was in every aspect of the game. It was a complete breakdown in fundamental execution.
Youth and no experience in adversity across the board. A lack of play-calling that utilizes those who are performing well. A nonexistent pass-rush outside of a wild senior.
I agree with you Kirby about the play calling. Who was responsible for that stupid fake field goal call. There was terrible play calling all day long but that one takes the cake. LSU was hands down a better team today.
You said it right, redsox. LSU was the better team. We dawgs can whine about plain, predictable play calling, missed tackles, or no Fields. But really, we just got beat by a better team. Hats off to LSU. They took our best shot and earned the W.
GA season isn’t over with this loss. IF they run the table they are in the SEC championship and anything can happen. Sometimes a loss like this is good. GA is still the team to beat in the SEC.
SEC east.
Yeah, I hate to say it, but this might be our needed wake-up call.
I’m sorry but I don’t believe any kind of loss is good.
The Auburn loss sure helped last year
Where is XLuvMyDawgs
im right here nighha…
I’m not a nighha you dumb f*ck.
lol you aint my nighha you have no friends mg…
I have more friends than you have dollars poor boy.
you sound like a racist. I bet you built like a Thumb…
I didn’t get to watch this game. From the comments I’m taking it that the Referees didn’t steal this game from the mighty Dawgs?
Refs weren’t great but they didn’t cost UGA 21 points that’s for sure.
Am I the only one that thinks Mel Tucker needs to go ASAP? I’m not a huge fan of Cheney, but I think he is at least being a little productive. Tucker’s defense is stagnant, predictable, and has no creativity or surprise.
Hard to play defense when your offense goes 3 and out over and over and runs 0 time of possession. The defense was put in bad situations and did a lot to hold LSU to field goals.
If Mel Tucker needs to go then so does Kirby. After two series, the LSU game plan was obvious. Throw to Tyson Cambpell side of the field, attack the D-Line between the tackles. If the UGA offense would not come out in the 2nd half and throw 3 strait incomplete passes, the defense would have a better chance.
Where’s x iLoveMyDawgs x ??? Guessing he’ll FINALLY be quiet on LSU’s pages for a while now.
“Y’all not upsetting us forget it because yall can’t even handle piss poor florida. Y’all dont even deserve to face us at nigh time” (sic)
Looks like you’re REALLY lucky we didn’t get to play you at night.
lol you got it for now….. See yall in the A mg…
No fan base is as big of sore losers as LSU. It’s a little insane. You won, why are you so angry?
LSU didn’t lose, that was UGA. Some LSU fans were tired of hearing some UGA fans talk down our program and coach, and that’s why you’re reading what you are. Try and not be the sensitive UGA fan.
UGA fans are taking so much heat due to trolling so many of the other teams articles…
Now they’re crying…
The minute LSU lost to Florida last weekend, I knew Georgia would lose this game. They were pissed off, hungry, and just flat out wanted it more and they knew Georgia would just assume that if a #21 team could beat them, a #2 team would monster them. Exact same thing happened last year at Auburn.
Holyfield was AVERAGING 7 yards a carry and that was up the middle. But no, let’s not ride what works and instead start throwing all over the yard. Fromm was sloppy, Fields wasn’t any better because Chaney just treats him like a glorified RB and Nauta had all the receiving yards and yet we still refuse to throw it to our TE Corp.
We deserved to lose.
Congratulations LSU. Take that energy and geaux beat Bama.
Had Bama gone into that tiger’s den first the same thing might of happened to us for the same reason. Hopefully, watching what the Tigers did to y’all will be wake-up call to our guys and they’ll play their best ball. They’re going to need to play a good game in Death Valley.
I was surprised that it was the LSU O-Line that won the game and not the LSU D-Line. The UGA offense could not overcome Chaney and Fromm. Holyfield and Swift averaged over 7 yards per carry and simply were forgotten in the 2nd half. Fromm missed two easy TD passes, one to Mecole and one to Godwin. Add those to the stupid fake field goal and then Fromm not getting rid of the ball on 3rd down and taking a sack, that equals 20 points….. Kirby was out coached.
