Kirby Smart didn’t hesitate to deliver his true thoughts in a postgame interview after Georgia overcame a brutal overturned call and still defeated Texas.
In an interview with ESPN ’s Katie George, Smart started an answer by saying that “nobody gave us a chance” during their 30-15 win.But then Smart looped in ESPN and the referees into his answer, too.
During his response, it became clear that Smart was still fuming over a chaotic sequence in the third quarter when Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron’s interception was negated due to pass interference, only for it to get overturned after a review while the Longhorns’ student section threw bottles, cans and other trash onto the field.Carson Beck #15 and Nate Frazier #3 of the Georgia Bulldogs celebrate after defeating the Texas Longhorns on Oct. 19, 2024.
“I will say that now we’ve set a precedent that if you throw a bunch of stuff on the field and endanger athletes, that you have a chance to get your call reversed,” Smart told reporters postgame. “That’s unfortunate because to me that’s dangerous. That’s not what we want. That’s not criticizing officials. That’s what happened.”Smart and the Bulldogs will certainly move up in the Associated Press Top 25 following the win in Austin, Texas.
