Their win on Saturday marked the ninth straight victory against the Volunteers, but this year’s game was a little different. Entering Saturday’s game Georgia had beat Tennessee by at least 14 points in their eight previous victories. But even though UGA emerged victorious, Kirby Smart knows that they had luck on their side. He even went as far as to offer an apology to Tennessee because he felt they deserved to win. This was just Smarts way of saying that he recognizes and respects how well Tennessee played in this game.
