It was a tough, disappointing trip for Kirby Smart back to Athens, Ga.
He came in to Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium over the weekend with hopes to defeat an Alabama football program that he won against only once in six tries. Smart led the Georgia Bulldogs into Tuscaloosa (Ala.) with “boo” chants coming from Alabama fans and overcame a 30-7 deficit to produce a classic matchup. However, Smart fell short again and this time to Kalen DeBoer.

The Crimson Tide emerged with a 41-34 victory, dropping Smart to 1-6 against it.
