No. 5 Georgia opened the 2021 season with a 10-3 win over No. 3 Clemson on Saturday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Georgia's dominant defense produced seven sacks and the game's only touchdown courtesy of a Christopher Smith 74-yard pick-six:
Georgia took a 7-0 lead into halftime and led 10-0 entering the fourth quarter.
Clemson's offense struggled all night, amassing just 180 total yards. However, the Tigers got something going in the fourth quarter with a 10-play, 82-yard drive that ended with a B.T. Potter 22-yard field goal.
The Tigers got the ball back after a three-and-out, but their drive stalled at the Georgia 45-yard line after a 4th-and-5 pass fell incomplete.
