Herschel Walker shares positive message about Kirby Smart, Georgia

Georgia football has a massive game approaching as they welcome No. 7 Tennessee to Athens for the game of the week in college football. However, this game comes one week after Georgia just had their worst performance of the season in their loss to Ole Miss.

Many Georgia and college football fans throughout the country are now doubting Georgia and wondering if they are good enough to beat the Vols and get back in position to make the 12-team College Football Playoff at the end of the season. However, there's one former Georgia Bulldog who hasn't lost confidence in this Georgia team, and Kirby Smart specifically.

Former Georgia running back Herschel Walker had this to share on a recent episode of ‘The Buck Belue Show.’

"I guarantee you this. Coming Saturday Kirby Smart gonna have them ready to play," Walker shared. "People gonna see how good this team really is... I'm still picking them to win it all... As my great friend Rick Flair said, 'To be the man, you got to beat the man.'"

Herschel Walker has not lost faith in Kirby Smart and Georgia

When Herschel Walker speaks, Georgia fans should listen. Walker is not only one of the greatest Bulldogs of all time, but he is one of the greatest college football players of all time. So he has earned the right to be trusted whenever he speaks. So if Walker isn't nervous for Saturday's game against Tennessee, UGA fans shouldn't be either.

There also is a lot of truth behind Walker's statement beyond the general optimism he has for Georgia. Smart and Georgia always know how to respond whenever they lose. That was seen this season after they lost to Alabama, and in seasons past whenever they come up short. Whoever Georgia's next opponent is usually is in for a rough game after Georgia loses, because Smart always has his team playing at their best and with an aggression not many teams possess.

Hopefully that is the case on Saturday against Tennessee, because Georgia needs a win now more than ever. But if Smart has taught us anything during his tenure, it's that he should never be doubted when Georgia's backs are against the wall.
