Here's what Georgia head coach Kirby Smart had to say after losing a thriller to Alabama.
up 30-7 at the half, the Bulldogs came back to take the lead with 2:31 left after a Carson Beck deep touchdown pass.Afterward, Smart praised the true freshman wide receiver who made the catch that beat his team.
Smart said Milroe’s unique talent makes Williams even more dangerous. It’s difficult to double the talented freshman, when the quarterback’s running ability means teams must account for an extra number in the run game. “We had our best player on him on fourth-and-one, and he outran him to the sideline,” Smart said. “And he turned up and scored. He ran outside of a blitz defense were we got more people than they can block in there, and he ran what we call a moon sweep outside. He’s a really good football player. He’s a really good football player. If you could just stop him and not worry about him throwing it, I think you could do it.
The coach said he told the players as they left the field how much he appreciated their response to adversity. He also praised what Kalen DeBoer has already built at Alabama through his first four games in Tuscaloosa after taking over for Nick Saban.
