ATLANTA – Though Georgia would find out later that its Southeastern championship game opponent would be Auburn, the players obviously didn’t know during postgame interviews following Saturday’s 38-7 win over Georgia Tech.
That, however, didn’t stop the media from trying to get a head start on pregame preparation.
While coach Kirby Smart played it down, saying he “can’t think that far ahead,” some of his players chimed in.
“It would probably just be motivation,” running back Nick Chubb said when asked if there was a difference in the two opponents. Of course, the Bulldogs’ lone loss came two weeks ago against Auburn.
Linebacker Natrez Patrick was a bit more detailed.
