Georgia rolled past Missouri 53-28 on Saturday night in Athens.
It was an impressive second-half effort by the Bulldogs after the Tigers kept the game a little too close for comfort in the first half.
‘Dawgs head coach Kirby Smart addressed the media after the game.
While Smart saw some things he liked, he seemed to be unsatisfied with the performance in some ways. It is apparent that Smart has raised the standards at Georgia.
Here’s what he had to say after the Bulldogs’ dominant win over the Tigers.

KIRBY: Very happy 4 Dom Sanders to get the INT record tonight. I think he got the yardage record, too. That proves he’s a better ATH than me
