There are a great group of guys in Athens who I still keep in touch with, players and coaches who I think a lot of. There are great young men in both programs, and that’s the thing I’m excited about. I told them, ‘Look, let’s just get through spring practice, and then I don’t have to show you any more Georgia film.’ But it’s two great programs. It’s tough for me when you’re showing video or things to your players trying to teach, whether it be drills and things like that, and then there are Georgia players on the video.

It’s all about the number of plays you run, and the more plays offenses run against you, the worse your stats from a defensive standpoint are going to be. She’s like, ‘You guys did shut them down that game!’ I know he was saying it and came right back and said it wasn’t a shot at Georgia, it was a testament to the offenses in that league. I was with my parents when I first read about it, and I mentioned it to my mom, and my mom got defensive, defending (head coach Kirby Smart) and Georgia.
