In all seriousness, I have not watched a lot of big games coached by Smart when they haven't played Alabama. So, I don't know what other situations were like.

However, I have watched enough of his mentor coaching in those situations to know that it is not a guarantee of success. The amount of energy Saban and staff put into prep for a certain QB1 goes out the window, as soon as that QB1 leaves the game and a good OC alters the play calling for the QB2.

Ty would be #2. It would be a completely different offense. But UGA certainly has the athletes and experience to adjust.
