Kirby Smart hyping up Florida adds more pressure on Jon Sumrall to keep roster intact

Man, if anybody in the SEC knows a good football team when he sees one, it's Georgia head coach Kirby Smart.

Ahead of the SEC Championship, when asked about the Florida Gators, Smart had nothing but praise for the team, despite the fact that Florida had just wrapped up an abysmal 4-8 season.

"People are going to ridicule and make fun of Florida, that roster is big and physical, and talented," Smart said. "I've said it this entire year, people don't get it."

Jon Sumrall needs to keep the Gators' together

Whether it's starting quarterback DJ Lagway or backup nose tackle Jamari Lyons, the Gators have talent across the board; they just need the chance to be coached by the right guy.
