What Georgia football coach Kirby Smart said about Georgia Tech
On if he has seen Georgia Tech progress this season …
“Yeah, I think their offense has grown and they got better and better from the beginning of the year towards the end of the year it’s like two different teams. I think they were learning a new system. And any time you’re learning a new system and you have growing pains and you push through those. Their quarterback’s done a tremendous job. We know him well, recruited him out of high school. James has been extremely athletic and he’s gotten better throwing the ball. He threw the ball with a lot of confidence Thursday night and their team is growing.”
On what is different now not having to prepare for Georgia Tech’s triple option …
“Yeah, they still have a lot of elements of the options. So obviously when I say a lot, I don’t mean as much as what they had previously, because they were — they were all in when they were triple options. They have elements of the triple. They still — you can’t just flip it over and just go completely to a non- — when that’s what your roster is made. They have dive pitch keys, they have reads. They have perimeter runs, inside runs. They’ve got elements of the option. So it is different from a perspective of not having to do everything we used to do, which was completely different. So where it was a 100 percent different defense, it might be 50 percent difference now with some of the things they’re doing.”
On his relationships with coaches on Georgia Tech’s staff, specifically Geoff Collins and Brent Key…
“Geoff and I have worked on the same staff at Alabama, have a lot of respect for Geoff. He has a ton of energy. Does a tremendous job. He leaves no stone unturned. He’s looking for every competitive advantage he can get, whether it’s through recruiting, whether it’s through innovation, whether it’s through scheme, whether it’s through motivation. He’s a high-energy guy.
And Brent’s the same way. Brent’s a Georgia Tech guy. He played there. He played there while I was playing here. And he and I have never been on a staff together but we’ve always crossed paths and been friends in recruiting. We go to the same schools as assistant coaches. And I see Brent in the offseason a lot. I have a lot of respect for those guys and the job they do.”
