I mean that's Kirby Smart being diplomatic, is it not?Why not? They lost their best WR for the entire 4th qtr.
Georgia coach said this.

"Ohio State probably deserved to win the game but we never quit," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. "We didn't play our best game. Maybe they didn't either."

I'm sure Ryan Day said Georgia deserved the win, or something along those lines
I agree that Ohio State probably wins the game if Harrison Jr. plays, but reality is you gotta close the deal when you have a two touchdown lead in the fourth quarter.
Buckeye defense was so boom or bust, as illustrated in the Michigan and Georgia games. You could see it look awesome for parts of this game (like the 3rd quarter) but you can't let Stetson frickin Bennett throw 190 yards on you in a quarter. That just can't happen -- guy is a total stooge.
Hard to argue they deserved to win. It was a 50/50 game that either team obviously could have won.
