Kirby Smart’s Surprising Praise for Alabama’s Keelon Russell Sparks Intense Rivalry Speculation
The biggest game on the Week 6 slate for college football is in the SEC as Georgia visits Alabama on Saturday night.
Alabama football is 5-0 this year and ranked sixth in the nation. They have been led by quarterback Keelon Russell, who has been nothing short of spectacular to start the year. Now, Russell will face his biggest test of the year as Alabama faces Georgia this week.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart knows the type of player Russell is and spoke of his ability on Monday, per Dawg Nation.
“I knew about him in high school and watched his high school tape. I knew he was an elite player. Probably the best quarterback in the country coming out,” Smart said of the Alabama quarterback. “He kind of goes away, disappears for a year. Reappears and is just unbelievable: savvy, arm strength, pocket awareness. People will make him out to be a runner. He doesn’t run unless he has to, and he can, but he scrambles to throw. Scrambles to run. He’s accurate. He’s smart. He’s very talented.”
