Kirby Smart is the first to tell you that Alabama “did an outstanding job of jumping all over” Georgia last season under first-year coach Kalen DeBoer. The Crimson Tide defeated Georgia at Bryant-Denny Stadium 41-34 last year. Now, the Bulldogs host Alabama. Smart talked about that Tuesday in Atlanta during Day 2 of SEC Media Days.

Kirby Smart Talks Battle Against Alabama originally appeared on Athlon Sports. SEC Media Days continue at the College Football Hall of Fame and Omni Hotel in Atlanta, with the event wrapping up Thursday. On Tuesday, Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart spoke with the media and offered some honest thoughts about a key game on the 2025 schedule.

Former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy shared Monday on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning that someone "in the know" said legendary coach Nick Saban is considering a return to coaching. Saban, 73, retired after the 2023 season, but McElroy said his source is "adamant" Saban will coach again.

Though McElroy is certainly in the know -- he was the second quarterback to start at Alabama under Saban -- some of Saban's other collaborators aren't so sure that Saban is set on a return to the sidelines.

Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer needs the rumor of Nick Saban returning to coaching like a drowned man needs a drink. Hugh Freeze needs it even less.

Kirby Smart hasn’t officially named Gunner Stockton starting quarterback at Georgia, but it doesn’t matter. Since stepping foot on campus, Stockton has prepared like the job is going to be his. Smart said Stockton’s commitment to preparation is one of the things he admires most.
