Kirby Smart Gets Honest on 'Great Opportunity'
Longhorns fans weren't sure what to make of Texas moving from the Big 12 to an SEC conference that is loaded with talent. But in just year one they have the chance to secure the SEC title. But as great as the opportunity may be for Texas this weekend, Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart says the opportunity for Georgia is equally as big.
"What a great opportunity in front of us. I've always made mention many, many times and sounded like a broken record, but this is the greatest championship game of them all in terms of conferences. It means a lot to a lot of people. Atlanta has been the really hotbed home of this game for a long time," Smart said.
"I still remember my senior year in high school playing in the playoffs and it was a Saturday night game and in Birmingham, Alabama. Alabama was playing Florida in one of the greatest SEC Championship games of all time. And I remember listening to the radio and hearing the outcome of that game as I was getting ready to play in our game. So it's been a long time because I'm old now and it's a great game," he added.
"And it's one that I've played in a lot of times and had a lot of heartbreak and a lot of triumph. But that's what makes this conference special is that this game is tough and the atmosphere, the electricity around the game is really awesome. So we're looking forward to it.
