Most of the best teams in Georgia football history have opened their memorable seasons against a talented, high profile opponent. There’s no question the Bulldogs of 2021 kick off against an elite foe, as Georgia, ranked fifth, battles No. 2 Clemson in Charlotte at Bank of America Stadium. The question of whether this will be one of Georgia’s best teams won’t be answered for some time, but the sons and daughters of the Red and Black will have an early indication from the tussle with the Tigers.
Georgia’s Hall of Fame 25-year head coach Vince Dooley always believed in playing a strong opponent to open the season.
