Kirby Smart: ‘My focus is on Kentucky’

Georgia coach Kirby Smart praised Kentucky Monday and warned that the Wildcats would "want nothing more than to come in here and try to prove they're the best team in the East."

In an interview with Channel 2 Action News' Zach Klein, Smart emphasized that the loss to Auburn would not be a distraction for his team. (Video above)

“My main focus is on Kentucky,” Smart said. “It doesn’t matter the outcome of the previous game because the past doesn’t affect the present.”

The Bulldogs (9-1, 6-1 in SEC) face the Wildcats (7-3, 4-3 in SEC) at 3:30 p.m. (CBS) at Sanford Stadium.
