Georgia coach Kirby Smart celebrated Saturday's come-from-behind win over unranked Auburn but acknowledged, 'I don't know how good a team we've got.'
, who was making his first start on the road, never got rattled, Smart said. Beck finished with 313 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception."Obviously we didn't play our best game today, but we're a very resilient team," he said."[I'm] proud of the way we competed, and we got to continue to get better. I mean, that's the most important thing for our team.
That means not giving up two turnovers and not allowing 219 yards rushing. Good football teams, Smart said, don't do that. "I don't know how good a team we've got," he said."I really don't. I don't sit here and proclaim that we've got some unbelievable team, but I do think our team believes in each other. We connect [and] we step up when we need to step up.", who came alive in the fourth quarter with six catches for 148 yards, including the game-winning touchdown. He had been limited to two catches for 9 yards before that.
Smart demurred when asked whether Bowers deserved to be in the Heisman Trophy conversation, saying,"I hate getting into that debate.""Who can argue that there's a better football player anywhere in the country?" Smart said."I mean, the guy has the greatest toughness and grit that I've been around, and he'll do whatever you ask him to do for this team. I've got a lot of respect for that guy's competitiveness.
