The Georgia Bulldogs have their opening College Football Playoff game coming up against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day. Head coach Kirby Smart has coached many big games before this.
Here’s what he said to the press about preparing for this game.
Comparing and contrasting Notre Dame from the other teams he’s faced in the postseason in the past:
On the Fighting Irish‘s pass defense:
“Well, they play great defense. They have a great pass rush. They’re physical up front. They affect the pass rush with how hard they play, and they got really good defensive backs. I mean, they play man-to-man. You know, they get up on you, put their hands on you. You can tell it’s a great brand of football between Coach (Al) Golden and Coach (Marcus) Freeman have done a great job. So, they play really good football.”
