Over the years, Clemson and Georgia have played in many big games, especially from 1977-’87, when nine of the 11 meetings were decided by seven points or less.
Perhaps the biggest of those meetings came in 1982, when, as the defending National Champions, No. 11 Clemson visited the seventh-ranked Bulldogs on Labor Day Night to start the season. Georgia, of course, won the 1980 National Championship.
In 2013, a No. 5 Georgia team visited a No. 8 Clemson squad to open the year. That is the only time in the longtime history of the rivalry that both teams were ranked in the top 10 at the time of the meeting.
