Georgia did spend some of its off-week preparing for Kentucky, before shifting to Alabama later in the week.

“Yeah, our off-week strategy has always been to look at opponents furthest away first and back into the team that’s most recent,” Smart said. “So we work on everybody that we would play before the next bye week. In terms of coaches, we may not work on the players, we don’t have enough time. We work on ourselves on the field, and the coaches work on every team we have upcoming.”

Georgia beat Kentucky 13-12 last season, with the game being played in Lexington, Kentucky. The Bulldogs beat Kentucky 51-13 when the game was last played in Athens in 2023.
