Kirby Smart Did Not Appreciate George Pickens Water Squirting Decision

Imagine being Kirby Smart and you just finished off Tennessee 44-21, your defense was once again dominant giving up minus one yard of rushing and you have to answer a question about one of your players squirting Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano.

Yeah, just what Kirby wants to talk about when Alabama week is coming up. Someone from the media pool couldn't wait to get a question about sophomore wide receiver George Pickens and his decision making.

Hey Kirby this is Kyle from , can you talk about...

"When somebody comes out of bounds and you squirt water at them, what are we? Are we 7 and 8 years old?" Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart said. "I mean, come on, let's play football. Let's don't be silly."

Pickens was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct, giving Tennessee the automatic first down. Five plays later Guarantano threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to give the Vols a 21-17 lead.
