When Kirby Smart was Alabama defensive coordinator, he earned a master’s degree in championship football. Smart learned what it took to build a national champion. Also did Smart learn the NCAA Football betting importance of recruiting. Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban is the GOAT of college football. But like all Saban assistants, Smart has struggled against his mentor with a couple of painful losses. In 2017 Georgia had the national championship game in hand. However, Tua Tagovailoa came off the bench to spark an Alabama overtime win. Following that was a gut-wrenching loss in the 2018 SEC Championship Game.
