Georgia knows it has a big game against Alabama this week, but its focus will have to turn quickly to the rival Auburn Tigers.
“It’d mean we’ve got to get ready for Auburn,” Smart said on what a win against Auburn would mean. “I mean, it’s really that simple, guys. It’s a conference-schedule game. It’s going to be a really tough environment on the road, which sounds like a broken record, because the last one we were talking about was a tough environment on the road. And win or lose, the next one’s going to be really hard, and the next one’s going to be really hard, and the next one’s going to be really hard.”
In his career, Kirby Smart is 8-1 against Auburn, with the lone loss coming in 2017.
