Head Coach Kirby Smart
Opening Statement
“We are getting ready to fire back up after a couple of days off for this big Georgia-Florida game. Excited again to go to Jacksonville and play in an awesome venue. It’s very unique to have the neutral site and have a split crowd. Every year we go and play in it, it’s very different from the SEC home-away atmosphere. It’s kind of weird because it sits right there in the middle, and it can be loud both ways, and it’s kind of a momentum game. Whoever’s crowd is into it at the time or who has the momentum. Our guys are back and ready to get to work.”
On Florida quarterback DJ Lagway…
“He’s a really bright player, got a bright future, great arm talent, got an ability to process information quickly, get ball out on RPOs and really hard to tackle. When you do get through on the rush, and if you ever get through, you’ve got to finish and finishing on a guy that size is harder than you think in terms of him and his escapability and ability to kind of lengthen plays. He’s done a good job, and he’s improved. We kind of watched him grow before our eyes throughout last year and this year, and he’s surrounded by a really talented group of wideouts and a really talented offensive line. Their physical and the offensive line have guys that have been playing there for a while, and that complements his style very well.”
