Kirby Smarts praises staff, players for stifling UGA defense

Kirby Smart credits his staff and players for UGA football’s incredible defense.

It’s no secret that the Georgia Bulldogs have one of the, if not the best defense in all of the college football landscape.

After holding the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to just seven points in the final regular season game, head coach Kirby Smart was quick to deflect praise from himself to the rest of the team when discussing the team’s dominant defense.

“I give tremendous credit to the coaches on our staff, I don’t take credit for that myself just because I’m a defensive guy,” Smart said.

“I think our coaching staff, [Dan] Lanning, [Glenn] Schumann, Charlton [Warren] and Tray Scott have done a tremendous job.

“Our players have done a tremendous job of working hard, buying in.”

The players will have to continue to buy in and put forth their best effort of the season if the Dawgs have any chance of slowing down the offensive juggernaut from the Bayou on Saturday.
