Longhorns Daily News: Georgia’s Kirby Smart: Texas is the ‘most complete team that we’ve seen or faced this year’

Plus: It’s a great day to be a Longhorn

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart recently shared his thoughts on the Texas Longhorns ahead of the two programs’ top-ranked matchup this weekend at DKR in Austin. Per On3:

“Obviously a huge matchup. It’s going to be a top-10, two teams in the country. A lot of respect for Sark. I’ve gotten to know Sark really well over the last couple years. We take a trip every year together. Really enjoyed getting to know him and have a lot of respect for the job he does. The most complete team that we’ve seen or faced this year and probably multiple years. When you look at what they’re doing defensively, offensively, and special teams, they are clearly one of the best teams in the country with what they do. They’ve got a great quarterback, great defense, great scheme, it should be a great matchup. This is really why you come to Georgia to play in these moments. Once again on the road going to a place I’ve never been, I assume none of our players have ever been there either for a game. It should be exciting, great TV, looking for an opportunity for us to get better because that’s the most important thing. Can we show some kind of consistent improvement and play more consistent as a team? That’s our goal.”
