For what it's worth, Kirby Smart isn't bothered by his record against Alabama. Plus, it should be noted that Smart's lone win against the Crimson Tide since becoming Georgia head coach came in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game of the 2021 season.

The No. 4-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide held off the No. 2-ranked Georgia Bulldogs 41-34 in a game for the ages on Saturday night. The Bulldogs erased a 28-0 deficit and even took a 34-33 lead with a little over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart suffered his first regular season loss in four years in UGA’s 41-34 loss at the Alabama Crimson Tide. Smart has a lot of reasons to be proud of Georgia, but ultimately the Bulldogs did not get the job done and Smart takes ownership of that.

The Georgia head coach is used to being on the right side of games like Saturday’s, but this time Smart was on the wrong side of a pulsating SEC showdown in Tuscaloosa, as Alabama once again broke the Bulldogs’ hearts with a 41-34 victory.

Kirby Smart saw what you saw in the first half Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama, behind Jalen Milroe, jumped out to a 30-6 lead behind Jalen Milroe. The quarterback has thrown for 106 yards on nine carries for two touchdowns. He has thrown for 199 yards and another score.

After the game, cameras caught a post-game exchange between DeBoer and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart. The latter was filmed jogging on the field as he headed toward DeBoer shortly after the game had ended.

TUSCALOOSA — There wasn’t much Kirby Smart could say at halftime with Georgia trailing Alabama 30-7.

But as Paul Finebaum reminded viewers on SEC Nation Saturday, not many people had much success against Nick Saban’s Alabama program. With Saban retired and Kalen DeBoer now coaching the Crimson Tide, Smart has a chance to reverse that trend.
