Georgia football is just days away from kicking off the season against Marshall, and Bulldog fans are buzzing with anticipation. Eager to see how the team shapes up this year, many are closely following head coach Kirby Smart’s comments in hopes of gaining insight into the squad’s readiness.
During his Tuesday press conference, Smart was asked to sum up his team’s identity heading into the season. He didn’t hesitate to describe them with a single word: *hungry*.
“The adjective right now I’ve seen is hungry, and that’s the one that you see the most,” Smart said, via 247Sports. “You know, the fire, passion, energy, the new guys getting an opportunity. I hope that continues to pronounce itself. I want to see more of that, but it’s hard to tell without playing a game.”
Kirby Smart calls Georgia “hungry” in 2025
Fall camp is notoriously demanding. Georgia’s players endure long, grueling practices under the intense summer heat, with no games on the schedule to break things up—just practice after practice. But this period of preparation is what often distinguishes elite programs from the rest.
While average teams merely try to make it through fall camp, championship-caliber teams embrace the grind, using each day to sharpen their skills and push their limits. That’s the attitude Georgia has embraced in recent seasons during their championship runs—and it appears to be the same approach they’re taking this year.
If this “hunger” truly reflects the team’s mindset, it could be the driving force behind another successful season for the Bulldogs.
