'They Didn't Want Any More': Jalen Milroe Has Given Georgia Its Motivation for the Season That We'll Hear When They Win Another National Title

Son of a fucking bitch. Kirby Smart has lied to his players for years and told them someone predicted Georgia to go 6-6 when it was the preseason No. 1 team in the country, but now the Bulldogs have actual bulletin board material going into another season where they're the national title favorites. I guarantee you this quote is already up in UGA's locker room, weight room and probably every other room in the facility and will remain there through January.

Now Jalen Milroe can say whatever he wants, because Alabama did manage to beat Georgia in the SEC Championship Game and sneak into the College Football Playoff. But when exactly did Georgia quit and not want anymore in a game it trailed 17-7 at halftime and lost by a field goal after outscoring the Tide 17-10 in the second half? It's great that you won, but that's not really a score indicative of a team that had given up — and I can guarantee you if Smart thought his team had given up in an SEC Championship Game, we would have heard about it long before now.

I don't know how many people were going to pick Alabama to beat Georgia in Tuscaloosa on September 28 before now, but I'd advise anyone planning on doing that in a few months to remember this 10-second clip, because I can assure you every single person involved in UGA's program will be reminded of it every day until then.
