29 years ago today... I like mentioning how Kirby was setting unofficial school records in his very first game—and after coming off the bench.




At free safety, Smart was the backup to Corey Johnson (who leveled SC's Zola Davis on a pass over the middle in the opening quarter). Smart following the game: "I was real fortunate. Coach Kines (defensive coordinator Joe Kines) called my number several times and I just took advantage of that. The biggest difference was our pass rushing. We went after them more in the second half. This was a nice way to get my career started."

After the three-sack performance, Smart totaled 2.5 sacks in 43 games at Georgia.
