Georgia Bulldogs

Georgia 13 – Auburn 7

Congratulations Kirby Smart! Aside from the season-opening upset against North Carolina, this was the biggest win for Kirby Smart to date. Actually, with Auburn being a rival and a top-10 team, this is the biggest win of Smart’s career to this point.

Smart took his knowledge of the Auburn offense from his time as defensive coordinator at Alabama and absolutely embarrassed Gus Malzahn and his offense. Great job Kirby, and congratulations Bulldogs.

Impact Moving Forward

-Huge momentum burst

Although this hasn’t been the season Georgia faithful were hoping for, this win helps Bulldogs believe in Smart. Georgia hasn’t been great this year, but a freshman quarterback has been leading the way all season. Next year looks bright, as the roster and head coach will all have a ton more experience.

Kirby Smart just made a ton of progress with boosters and fans. If the Bulldogs can beat Georgia Tech too, look out.
