Georgia head coach Kirby Smart talks about the upcoming matchup with South Carolina, the 2018 national championship, and much much more.

One of the primary talking points during the press conference was the 2018 national championship game following South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer's recent comment. 

"Taking me down nightmares; it was the right thing," Beamer stated while reliving the memory. "If you ask anybody in Athens what 'Tyler Simmons was onsides' means, they know, because, in the national championship game, we had an Alabama punt in, Kirby had come up with a plan that we're gonna show this look when Alabama punts. We're confident that they will do this, and when they do this, we're gonna do that - we were gonna get a free rusher, we felt like, and we did. Came completely clean and blocked the punt just like we had designed it to do. Unfortunately, the officiating crew - not an SEC crew - absolutely blew the call, and I don't wanna say it cost us a national championship, but that was a significant play in the game that potentially cost us a national championship that night. That blocked punt happens early in the second half there's probably not an overtime that game, but I'm over it as you can tell." - Shane Beamer on the Tyler Simmosn play
