College football world erupts after Kirby Smart shoves Mississippi State QB
I’m sure if you are reading this post you have seen the viral Kirby Smart moment from Georgia’s 41-31 win over Mississippi State.
But in case you haven’t (or you want to watch it again) here you go.

In the above video you can clearly see Smart shove Mississippi State QB Michael Van Buren Jr. The first thing I thought when I saw this happen was that the college football world is going explode when this clip inevitably goes viral.
And that is exactly what happened.

— Carson Young (@Young_shots) October 13, 2024 The timing sucks for him, but Kirby Smart should 100% be suspended for a week.
— Matt (@mattmey11) October 13, 2024 Kirby Smart just pushed Mississippi State QB Michael Van Buren
No penalty called.
The QB would have been tossed if it was the other way around.

I could easily share at least 1,000 more posts just like these, but I think you get the picture.
Now I will admit that the optics of this clip are not great. Georgia is going through a lot of off the field issues with wide receiver Colbie Young’s arrest and subsequent suspension being the latest example, so that development surely is putting a magnifying glass on anything UGA does right now. Also it’s a recipe for disaster anytime a coach puts their hands on an opposing player.
But let’s be honest, this incident really isn’t an incident at all. In fact, this is something that I believe everyone is overreacting to.
In my opinion it is extremely obvious that Smart never even saw the Mississippi Stare QB. Smart was clearly arguing with the official and in the process accidentally bumped the MSU QB. He maybe shouldn’t have extended his arms like he did, because that is what’s making Smart look guilty. But still, it’s clear as day that none of it was intentional.
Smart even said after the game that he doesn’t remember touching the Mississippi State QB.
We are however living in the social media world, a world that loves to hate Smart and Georgia football, so I’m not surprised to see people react like this. But setting all biases aside it becomes clear that Smart did nothing wrong and everyone is just looking for something to be upset about.
