We've got good depth at tight end, but we don't have the kind of depth we need at those other positions. We're talking running back, wide receiver. We don't have the depth we need, especially at the skill positions. I know that we can spread the ball around. KIRBY SMART: Well, I don't know that we have great depth. What does that say about the depth of your skill positions? You had 10 different players catch a pass today, and five different players score touchdowns. He's got a lot to learn and I thought he played with great composure today, and he could be a really talented player. He's an incredible athlete, has good speed. We wanted to get him in the game early, and fortunately it was a play where he was one-on-one, and he made a really good play on the ball. Batted balls he knocked down balls he had picks.
KIRBY SMART: Well, he's been probably our most productive defensive back all camp, which means he get lots of hands on balls. What did you see from him in this game that you liked and want to improve, and what went through your mind when he got that interception? One of the players that stood out was freshman Malaki Starks. Some opportunistic turnovers really helped the defense. At the half we both had 14 1st downs and really had not stopped them like either team had wanted. Defensively we were a little more bend-but-don't-break. I thought Coach Monken and his offensive staff had a good plan. Offensively we did execute at a high level, which when you have an experienced quarterback and you have experienced players, you can do that. Kids kind of bought into that theme, and they like playing here. That was all we talked about all week we're going to play connected, we're going to play aggressive, we're going to be a hunter. We tried to talk about coming out and playing as if we were hunting, and we wanted to play connected football. KIRBY SMART: I was really proud of the way our kids played. Could you have imagined a better execution and just performance by your offense in particular? But your defense didn't give up a touchdown today, either. I know you guys try to prepare for everything. I've never played here that it wasn't a great atmosphere, and it certainly was today, for college football. They do a tremendous job, and it's really a credit to the people with the Chick-Fil-a Kickoff game and what they do. KIRBY SMART: I'd open by saying that Gary Stokan and the people in this event, the organization is first class.

But even Smart has to admit this one is different. Two of those accounted for the only repeat in the game in the last 17 years (Alabama 2011-12). He has lived it, winning four championships as an assistant at Alabama. 11 in Indianapolis has merely transitioned to a different form of longing. In that sense, nothing has changed in Athens, Georgia. This the Dawgs' time, sure, but their followers want it to be all the time. It is Smart's job to keep his program's focus on the straight and narrow. Certainly a repeat is not a demand from Dawg Nation (we think), but it remains a possibility. All of it is meant to be a description of a natty aftermath, not a deflection.
