The Georgia Bulldogs have the most impressive win of the young college football season following last Saturday night’s 10-3 downing of Clemson in Charlotte.
This week’s objective?
Scoring their first offensive touchdown.
A 74-yard interception return by Christopher Smith served as the only touchdown during Georgia’s win in that top-five showdown. The Bulldogs did advance into Clemson’s red zone on three separate occasions, stalling at the 5-yard line late in the third quarter before taking a 10-0 lead and taking the final snap at the 12 after consuming the game’s final four minutes and 49 seconds.
“You go through the reasons why and you go through each play,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said Monday. “A lot of it was attention to detail – not converting on third down and missing a couple of explosives. They played us very different than what you would normally say a Clemson team would play. They prepared for speed breaks and shots and fast balls, because that’s what they had given up. They did a good job of defending that.
