In a dominant season opener, the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs defeated No. 14 Clemson 34-3, showcasing a strong performance from quarterback Carson Beck, who threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns. After a slow start leading only 6-0 at halftime, Georgia's offense surged in the second half, with Beck connecting on a crucial 40-yard touchdown pass to London Humphreys. The Georgia defense was formidable, limiting Clemson to just 188 total yards and securing an interception by Malaki Starks. Coach Kirby Smart emphasized the importance of quality wins as the Bulldogs aim to maintain their elite status. Despite the loss, Clemson will need to regroup after being thoroughly outplayed, particularly on offense. Georgia's victory marks their 11th consecutive win in a season opener, continuing a strong tradition against the Tigers.
