ATHENS — Nolan Smith makes a convincing case Georgia is ready to finish what it started this season when it takes on Alabama in the national championship game next Monday.
Smith, a junior outside linebacker, says these Bulldogs are ready for the rematch against the Tide after getting knocked down in the SEC Championship Game last month by a 41-24 count.
“I think we got hit pretty hard, and I think we’ve gotten up pretty well,” said Smith, who’s living up to the billing he received as the No. 1 overall recruit in 2019. “Our guys didn’t sweat it from Day One; our guys said we know we need to get to work, and we know we have the opportunity of our lifetime, and now we’re here in the national championship game.
