No. 1 Georgia once again dominated in all phases on Saturday, defeating No. 11 Kentucky 30-13. Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart maintained that his squad is still hungry.
“We aren’t satisfied. We’re just pleased with the effort,” Smart told reporters after the game.
The head coach of the 7-0 Dawgs also discussed Mark Stoops’ decision to call a late timeout for a Kentucky score with the game out of reach, Jordan Davis, the Heisman Trophy race, freshman standout Brock Bowers and more.
Here are some of the highlights from Smart’s presser shared on Twitter by Georgia reporters:

Kirby Smart said he didn't have a problem with Mark Stoops calling a timeout to score at the end of the game. Smart had a bigger problem with his team getting penalties at the end.
"I respect, Mark's got a job to do, he's got to compete and score. Why not?"
