It was a moment of triumph after a hard-fought game. Despite the win, Smart was candid about his frustrations over a controversial call in the third quarter. The match’s situation showcased the intensity of the game.

In the third quarter, with Georgia leading 23-8, quarterback Carson Beck threw a deep pass to Arian Smith. He was covered by Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron. Barron, who had already made an impressive interception earlier in the game, appeared to make another one, returning it to Georgia's 9-yard line.

However, the play was called back due to a pass interference penalty on Barron. The penalty allowed Georgia to retain possession with a fresh set of downs. The decision left fans, players, and even head coach Kirby Smart puzzled.

After the game, Smart revealed what he had been told by the officials during his postgame press conference.

“He just said the guy got it wrong,” Smart shared when asked about the call. “The guy called it on the wrong guy, which it took him a long time to realize that.”

He added that while he didn’t want to say too much about the call out of respect for the SEC office.
