Kirby Smart Fears a Sun Belt “Crusade”

Related Topics: Sun Belt Conference, Kirby Smart

Here at UDD, we’re one of the few college football blogs that is not currently camped out in Hoover covering the madness that is SEC Media Days. Now much of what is said at this colossal four-day event is even newsworthy, but there was some interesting Sun Belt scoop that came out yesterday’s events. Second year Georgia head coach Kirby Smart hit the podium and threw out some very kind words about programs in the Sun Belt.

Smart uses last year as a perfect example as numerous Sun Belt teams gave SEC programs fits. South Alabama beat Mississippi State, Appalachian State took Tennessee to overtime, and UL-Lafayette was respectable against Georgia.
