This is some stat.

Still, since the start of Kirby’s second season in Athens until now, Georgia dropped 17 teams by more than 20 points in SEC play. That’s in the SEC, not ACC; That’s by 20 or more; That’s amazingly impressive.

In that same time Alabama and Nick Saban have done only slightly better – winning 18 games by 20 points or more. The team the two programs have bullied the most? Tennessee – the Vols have not come within 20 of the Tide or Dawgs in the last seven combined games. Georgia has more 20-plus point wins over Auburn than Bama, which makes sense as the Tigers have beaten Bama twice in their last three meetings.

Back to Kirby – what Georgia has done under his watch in terms of taking care of business is stellar. Again, since 2017 the Dawgs have won 17 games by 20 points or more in SEC games. If you count backwards from 2016 you would have to go all the way back to the Blackout game against Auburn in 2007 to get to another 17 games where Georgia won by 20 or more.

In other words, it took the Dawgs 46 games to do what it took them 145 to do previously.

Florida fans, just imagine how dominant Georgia might be if Kirby could coach.
