Kirby Smart gives uncensored take on why Georgia beat Alabama in leaked postgame speech
Published:
Fans and the media are gaining more access to college football teams than they ever have before, and sometimes that comes in the form of leaks.
After Kirby Smart’s pregame address to his Georgia Bulldogs prior to their contest against Alabama was leaked Saturday, the postgame speech has also now been made publicly available.
The moment occurred right after UGA’s gutsy 20-17 road win over Alabama, giving Smart his first victory in Tuscaloosa as a head coach. The longtime Bulldogs leader made note of that and many other aspects of the game during his address.
“He [Alabama’s Dijon Lee Jr.] swung and hit Craig (Dandridge) twice. Craig just smiled at him,” Smart said regarding a late flag that moved the chains and iced the victory for Georgia. “We needed a first down to win the game. And we didn’t have to do sh** to get it.”

Smart also talked plenty about his team’s win-first mindset in this matchup, as he emphasized that his focus was never on playing conservatively and punting the ball away, instead looking to take the game.
“We don’t just sit back, run it and punt it to them,” Smart said. “We go win it right f****** now.”
