Kirk Herbstreit on Georgia: ‘They are, right now, a juggernaut’

It’s a good time to be a Georgia fan right now, as the Bulldogs are 8-0 and sitting at No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
Ahead of a game against South Carolina this weekend, the Bulldogs are in a position where they could possibly clinch the SEC East.
On the “Herbstreit & Fitzsimmons” podcast with Ian Fitzsimmons, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit said he thinks the Bulldogs are a juggernaut right now (via 247Sports):
“End of the day, Georgia’s heading in clearly a great direction,” Herbstreit said. “You look at their stats and their efficiency on offense and defense. They are, right now, a juggernaut. It’s going to be tough for really anybody to match up with them.”
Herbstreit cited the fact that LB Roquan Smith was upset that the Bulldogs allowed a late touchdown in a 42-7 win over Florida last weekend as a sign of what Georgia is all about this season:
“It’s just a team that’s on a mission right now. He has his blinders on,” Herbstreit said. “He’s not worried about 42-7. He’s worried about what (their) goals were. Clearly a goal was to shut them out.
“I love to hear him talk. I love to know that Georgia is in good hands when it comes to leadership of that team through a player’s perspective. We know about (coach) Kirby (Smart) and what he’s trying to create there and he’s done it very, very quickly.”
Georgia still has a tough matchup at Auburn on the schedule in a couple of weeks, but if the Bulldogs keep playing as well as they are right now, an undefeated regular season isn’t out of the question.
