While this is true, there is one example of the UGA coaching staff not treating a game as "must win".
That would be the SECCG in 2021 against Bama. For UGA to have a shot to come back and win that game, they would have needed to make a QB change. Stetson was playing poorly and JT Daniels had a bigger arm that could have given them a shot to win (Doesn't mean they would have, it just would have given them a shot).
The problem is it would have made it hard to go back to Stetson afterwards, win or lose.
But at that point, the results in the Big 12 title game already pretty much locked UGA into getting a playoff spot. So Smart "showed confidence" in Stetson and left him in the game, banking on that helping UGA in the playoff despite pretty much giving up on winning the SECCG.
And it worked. Stetson was great against Michigan in round 1 and against Bama in round 2 of the playoff. But a coach doesn't make that move if they felt like the SECCG was a "must win"
Good point

BS. They threw the conference title game. Suuuure they did. They didn't play to win hoping their QB would come around.
Saban on the other hand, benches Jalen Hurts and goes with a freshman in the National Title game.
Then Hurts comes in for Tua, who was playing badly and rolled an ankle in the SECCG, and beats UGA's flea bitten carcass.
UGA threw the SECCG hoping Stetson Bennett would get his confidence back....
What you mutts can't admit is injuries to Bama saved you. You didn't have anyone that could stop John Metchie and Jameson Williams. Plus Bama's starting corners went down.
That was not going to change and Stetson Bennett couldn't cover them either. You caught some injury luck but you'll never admit it. It's part of football that's how it goes. But you and I both know you don't beat Alabama if they all play. Confident QB or no.
The point is...Saban is the GOAT for a reason. He plays to win them ALL. Kirby perhaps should take a look in the mirror and think about why he's 1=5 vs that man, and lucky to be that.
