Georgia football passed a major test Saturday night with the nation looking on, finding a way past a Clemson program that hadn’t lost back-to-back in nearly 10 years over a span of 127 games.
The No. 5-ranked Bulldogs slugged it out with the No. 3-ranked Tigers to score a 10-3 decision in what was only the fourth meeting of Top 5 teams in a season-opening game since 2000.
“It’s definitely a big game for the program,” said Christopher Smith, who scored the only touchdown in the game, a 74-yard interception return in the second quarter that staked Georgia out to a 7-0 lead.
“We’d been looking forward to it.”
The Bulldogs’ defensive front was as ferocious as advertised, sacking Clemson QB D.J. Uiagalelei seven times while stuffing the Tigers run game to the tune of 2 yards on 23 carries.
Georgia’s pass attack never took flight against a veteran Clemson defense featuring 11 returning starters, but the run game got tough enough in the clutch to power the Bulldogs through to the historic win.
