Saban versus Smart

Thanks for keeping them chained up for the Natty. Pretty sure 15 is now my favorite number.
Different game, different teams. That's a compliment to you (Smart, and the players). Y'all learned, adjusted, prepared, etc. Yes, we had injuries, but that is part of the game. The bigger difference was y'all adapted. In Atlanta, we COULD have dropped 60. Your QB was scared/confused, your defense gassed. A month later, he settled in, got confident and got surgical, and your D was impregnable.

It goes beyond that, though. The defensive scheme that UGA put to work in the SECCG was completely different than the scheme they played the entire season...including the NCG. I said that during the SECCG.
 
Yep. It won't happen again though, so there's that. Kirby is 46. Saban was 52 when he won his 1st Natty with LSU. That's a 6 year head start on Saban's historical run. Kirby ain't skeered no more, and UGA's players have that monkey off their back. Let's get ready to "RUMBLE!!!"
Junior will get reminded real quick who Daddy is this year.
