UGA Football: Coach Smart and Defensive Backs Preview Top-25 Matchup

ATHENS, Ga. — University of Georgia head football coach Kirby Smart, along with a pair of defensive backs previewed Saturday’s Top 25 matchup against No. 11 Kentucky. The Bulldogs and the Wildcats kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET in Athens, Ga.

On Tuesday, Coach Smart, Redshirt Sophomore Dan Jackson and Junior Lewis Cine offered the following comments.

Head Coach Kirby Smart

On James Cook’s reception during the Auburn game…
“Well we thought that I got told from the box that they thought he caught it, but I was trying to ask the official because they typically review those so you don’t have to burn your challenge or anything like that because they’re reviewing every play and the official just said that he dropped the ball when he landed, he went out of bounds, he never had possession of it but I don’t know. Coach’s copy it was hard to tell what happened on it, James (Cook) thought he caught it but I don’t know that he would have had the first down, maybe you know better than me. I thought it would have been like right at it right just short, and we’d had a tough call to make because the point differential there was worth the two score. That was the big decision but we’d already decided if Zamir (White) didn’t score on his, we were gonna go for it on the one that he broke loose. Because the point differential was completely different so that three points was big to make a two score game.”
