Speaking of Jacksonville
Now that the Bulldogs have won three of the last four in the Florida series, there's reason to believe that Smart might want to rethink his stance of preferring it'd be played as a regular home-and-home.
The Golden Isles were covered up with UGA fans as usual, and their presence was strong at the end of Saturday's game, as the Bulldogs' side stayed full with revelers celebrating the victory with the team.
Smart was walking back on that narrative after Saturday's win, which came a week after the schools extended their agreement to play in Jacksonville another four years, with an option for two more.
"I want to reiterate what a privilege it is to play in this game," Smart said during his postgame news conference. "I know a lot has been made about my opinion or our opinion of where it's played, but it is an incredible venue. That's regardless of the outcome of the game. Both (sets of) fans on each side, I think our kids really enjoy that. It's great for college football. A special opportunity and the City of Jacksonville has been great with that."
