Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley took a shot at Georgia football and its defense Tuesday during an interview.
"If you throw Georgia in the Big 12 every year, there is no way they are a top-five defense in the country,” Riley said during his interview with SiriusXM’s ESPNU channel.
Once Riley’s comment surfaced on social media, Oklahoma’s coach added that it was not meant to be a shot at Georgia rather a praise of the Big 12.
Oklahoma lost in overtime to the Bulldogs in the College Football Playoff semifinal game. The Sooners managed to record over 500 offensive yards against Georgia’s defense, which was ranked among the top five in the nation at the time of the Rose Bowl.
Twitter users immediately reacted to Riley’s comment.
