Georgia’s game with Kentucky kicks off at 3:30 on CBS.
What did Kirby Smart say about the Kentucky Wildcats this week?
On being ranked No. 1…
"It's just a number, right? I don't see a plateau. The goal is to be number one at the end of the season. You always know that. Everybody's goal is there, but to have an opportunity to do that you have to be in the top four. That's the most critical part. We won't get caught up in that and let you guys write about it. That's not a burden we carry. The burden we carry is how we play."
On the QB situation…
"You know how I feel about hypotheticals. It's just hypothetical. We are trying to get JT (Daniels) back. He is much improved this last week, at the end of the week. He had a really productive throwing session Thursday. For the game, he was able to throw more than the previous week. We are going to let him try and throw more today, although today will be a lighter practice. Our guys have gone really six consecutive heavy, heavy weeks. Heavy even on Mondays we've gotten after it on games that didn't go into the fourth quarter. We practice pretty hard on Mondays. Today that won't be the case. We've had a really physical two games in a row with the Arkansas game and the Auburn game. There will only be so much we're able to get done today, but we'll look and see how he is and where he is. See what he can do. That's always the case. I'm not getting into that. Right now I'm making sure that we have a healthy quarterback and keeping our quarterbacks healthy, by keeping them upright and protected."
On the Kentucky offense…
"The biggest difference is they have a really great supporting cast. They have a quarterback that is really wise, really bright. A great system in the play-action boots they do. The quarterback is a really good athlete, and he throws the ball really well. He has weapons. They have always been one of the most physical games, if not the most physical game we've played in. I don't think the rest of the world understands the physicality that their offensive line has played with. Their run game. Their defensive line has been enormous in terms of size. Just a different type than maybe when you play against Arkansas or even Auburn. They strike blockers. They are very similar to us defensively in the front mechanics they play and how they play blockers. They have always been really great at stopping the run and running the ball. The added dimension now is the quarterback with the vertical pass game. The weapons they have outside are obviously different, and the back run so physical and downhill."
