Georgia's Kirby Smart Apologizes for Shoving Mississippi State Player in Viral Video

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart told reporters on Monday that he apologized to Mississippi State quarterback Michael Van Buren for shoving him during Saturday's matchup between the teams.

"Absolutely, I have.

After you guys said that in the press conference, I went back and watched it.

I didn't realize that I ran into him," he said.

"But I reached out to [Mississippi State head coach Jeff] Lebby that night and said the kid was great.

Yesterday, I talked to [Van Buren] and told him there were no intentions or ill-will toward him at all." This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
