UGA Football: Even the Georgia Staff Was Torn on Who QB1 Should Have Been Last Season

Kirby Smart at SEC Media Days:

“He gives us the best chance to win the next game, and as long as he was the best one to win the next game, he was going to be the one out there,” Smart said. “You know, there was thought among the staff that he was the best guy at the beginning of the season. There were opinions that felt that way; it was not a consensus. So, ultimately, I had to make a decision on who starts, and we had a lot of sentiment in the room that he was the best guy preseason camp, first game, second game, but I say a lot — there were the guys that didn’t feel that way. And that’s what you have in a quarterback situation. You want to go with the guy that gives you the best chance to win the game. We weren’t trying to win just those games at that time — we were trying to win every game. So you have to be able to look outside of who we have to play and who we have to beat, who gives us the best chance to do that. And we ultimately felt like it was Stetson that gave us the best chance to do that.”
