Kirby Smart Updates Georgia's Injury Report; Adonai Mitchell and Jalen Carter
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart met with the media for his weekly Monday press conference ahead of their upcoming home game against Kent State.
Kent State, a non-power-five program off to a 1-2 start this season, are unsurprisingly massive underdogs as they prepare for their game against the top-ranked Bulldogs, who those in Vegas list as a 42-point favorite, with an over/under set at 59-points, according to DraftKings.
According to ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI), Georgia holds a 99.2 percent chance of beating the Golden Flashes.
Smart addressed his team's overall health entering this week of practice, with most of the focus coming on the absence of Adonai Mitchell this past weekend against South Carolina, though he wasn't exactly needed. As well as Jalen Carter, who was suffering from an ankle issue as well on Saturday.
