Georgia is 14-3 after a loss under coach Kirby Smart, bouncing back after each of its previous eight defeats.

I think you&#8217;re trying to win your conference all the time, and to do that you&#8217;ve got to win your games at home. You&#8217;ve got to play well on the road, which we have and haven&#8217;t. We&#8217;ve done both, but I like making it about who we play and how we play, and less about just outcomes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<h2 class=\"editorial-title\">Editor&#8217;s Picks<\/h2>\n<p>2 Related<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>BYU survived a 22-21 scare at Utah last week.
