Postgame Quotes
Georgia Head Coach Kirby Smart
On the game…
"The flow of the game was about what I thought it was be, there was a lot of emotional big plays," Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said. "I didn't see us having the big plays in the turnover game with the fumble recovery and blocked punt, but they were really big plays. We struggled some to stop the run today, which is not indicative of defense we want to have, and we struggled to run the ball. When you have that combination then you are going struggle some and we did. Give Missouri credit, they have a good football team. We knew that coming in. I've always respected them. They've won nine of the last 10 games and you don't do that by accident."
On toll on the defense…
"I don't think so. That is something we are going to face all the time. Up-tempo teams want to go and especially if we aren't controlling the ball on offense then we are going to have to play a lot of players on defense and we did. We played 50 snaps in the first half of South Carolina and I think it was 43 or something today in the first half."
On facing adversity…
"I think it is what it is. Our team has to face adversity. Look, give Missouri credit. They have a good football team. We knew that coming in, I knew that coming in. I've always have respected Missouri. They've won nine of the last 10 games and you don't do that by accident in this conference. They have a good quarterback and their defense is much improved. They have really good players - tight ends, wideouts, all across the board. I thought our kids competed and fought their tail off to say in it. Defensively, we gave up a few plays but also made some."
On mistakes…
"There always are undisciplined things. Things that aren't in our DNA like lack of composure, and discipline penalties. It's just silly stuff that we have to get cleaned up. I'm disappointed in those."
