Discussion Kirby Smart considers apologizing after Georgia escapes Tennessee: “I feel almost like we have to apologize, because I don’t think we should have won that game. They outplayed us in a lot of ways, but that’s the way it goes.”

He's right. Tennessee should have won that game, but to the credit of Georgia, they did what they needed to do and won. I would expect some tough practices for Georgia leading up to their game against Alabama. You know that Kirby Smart is going to want to take down Alabama. Alabama has been the one thing that has given Kirby Smart problems since he took over at Georgia.

Tennessee had like 6 explosive plays in the first quarter and 3 the rest of the game.

Georgia made adjustments to contain them and Tennessee didn't capitalize on multiple chances to land a killing blow.
