00:00game of the year so far in college football coming our way

00:06here in week number five. It's number four, Alabama hosting

00:10number two, Georgia, and the line still stands with UGA as a

00:15road favorite coach as you examine these two teams. Do you

00:18believe Georgia deserves to be the favorite even on the road in

00:21Tuscaloosa?

00:24You know, they want 142 straight regular season games.

00:27They're the winningest team over the last three or four years.

00:30I mean, until they start losing, I can't pull against them. And

00:33Kirby's smart, the bigger the game, the more he knows how to

00:36coach in it. So I like the one point I want to stay with

00:39Georgia on this one. But they've got to become more explosive.

00:42They have no explosive plays. And I think they've got to

00:45manufacture it. When I say manufactured, you can't score

00:49deep unless you call a deep ball. I think the coordinator

00:52has to call the ball, give them some deep throws, because

00:55they've got to have more explosive plays when they play

00:58teams like Alabama.

01:00Coach, we talked about in terms of these huge matchups, the team

01:03that breaks tendency usually has an advantage. When you look at

01:07Kirby smart and knowing that they lost the SEC championship

01:10game to Alabama and Nick Saban. Do you think Kirby will break

01:13down that film more than let's say this year in regards to the

01:16new offensive attack with Kalen DeBoer?

01:21Well, he's going to know what the other team is going to

01:24study. The other team is studying what he does to get his

01:27tendencies. And I can tell you this by experience. I've coached

01:30against Alabama five times in some big, big games in the Iron

01:34Bowl. When you get to a big game like this, you've got to know

01:38your own tendencies and you got to break them at just the right

01:41time. I've always said it's good to have tendencies. It's bad not

01:44to know them. If you know your tendencies, then in a big game

01:47like this, Kirby smart will pull out a different defensive front,

01:51a different blitz, a different offensive play. He knows how to

01:55win big games. That's why he's where he is over the last five

01:58years.
