Georgia and Texas have become something of a new-age rivalry since the Longhorns joined the SEC, with the two teams facing off twice last season in Texas’ maiden SEC voyage.
The Bulldogs of course won both of those games, 30-15 in the regular season and 22-19 in overtime of the SEC Championship game. And though there’s been some bad blood between the fanbases and at least one infamous water bottle throwing incident, the two teams’ head coaches seem to get along quite well.
At his Monday press conference, Kirby Smart had nothing but praise for Steve Sarkisian.
