ATHENS — Kirby Smart would be the first to say Georgia has yet to play its best football, and considering how Saturday went, that’s a very good thing.
The No. 1-ranked Bulldogs beat Georgia Tech 37-14, but not before trailing at the end of the first quarter and holding a scant 10-7 halftime lead.
It’s fair to say Georgia has appeared to play down to the level of its opponents at times this season, most notably in wins over a 5-7 Kent State team (39-22) and 6-6 Missouri (26-22).
At the end of the day, this Georgia team finds ways to win, and Smart’s reloaded team has grown as the season has progressed by focusing on one game at a time.
“There’s no area that we can’t improve on,” Smart said after the win over the Yellow Jackets. “Let’s be honest, we’ve got a lot of areas we need to improve.”
Next up, it’s a 9-3 LSU football program that has battered Kirby Smart-coached Georgia squads in the two most recent meetings in 2018 (36-16) and 2019 (37-10).
There are still a handful of Bulldogs’ players around who remember that most recent meeting, including tailback Kenny McIntosh.
