After the Georgia Bulldogs’ loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide, head coach Kirby Smart expressed frustration with various aspects of the game, including officiating. Although there were some questionable calls, Smart did not directly accuse officials of discrimination but emphasized that the team’s mistakes, particularly in the first half, played a major role in the loss. Georgia fell behind early, with a 28-0 deficit in the first half, and despite a strong second-half comeback attempt, they ultimately lost 41-34.
Smart took responsibility for the team’s poor first-half performance, particularly in defense, acknowledging that the Bulldogs were not well-prepared for Alabama’s aggressive start. While he commended his players for their resilience and efforts to close the gap, a late interception by Alabama sealed Georgia’s fate in the game.
