Georgia head football coach Kirby Smart commented on a video of a Georgia player celebrating with Ole Miss fans after the loss.

The Georgia Bulldogs will take on the Tennessee Volunteers this weekend. They are coming off a tough road loss against Ole Miss. Georgia was never able to find consistency on offense last Saturday, and the Rebels’ offense made plays down the stretch to put them in the win column.

After the upset win, Ole Miss fans stormed the field to celebrate the big win and chaos ensued. Fans knocked down both goal posts and the field was filled with fans in attendance. After the game, a video surfaced of Georgia football player Jake Pope jumping and what appeared to be celebrating on the field with Ole Miss fans following the game.

Kirby Smart was asked about it at Monday’s press conference and this is what he had to say:
“What an idiot. Just stupid. He’s embarrassed by it. I knew the family was a high school teammate’s family. But just stupid. But to be honest with you, I don’t have time to worry about that stuff.”

Pope committed to Alabama after high school and elected to transfer to Georgia following the news of head coach Nick Saban’s retirement. The former Buford High School football player has served as a reserve safety for the Bulldogs this season.

Georgia will face the Tennessee Volunteers this weekend in their final conference game of the season. It will be Georgia’s first home game since Mississippi State, which was just before the Dawgs traveled to Austin, Texas, to play the Longhorns. They will close the season with three straight home games.
