Smart says Georgia fans wanted Clemson

In the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, no rivalry in college football was better or more competitive than the Clemson-Georgia series.

With national championship implications on the line in most years, the Bulldogs and Tigers battled to a 5-5-1 series record. Nine of those 11 games were decided by a touchdown or less. From 1983-’87, four of the five games came down to a field goal to either win or tie the game.

There was no better rivalry in college football. This is why active boosters at both schools have been clamoring for Clemson and Georgia to renew their storied rivalry on the gridiron.
