Bulldogs kick off season with big win over Clemson

The fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs opened their 2021 season with a 10-3 victory over the third-ranked Clemson Tigers in front of 74,187 fans at Bank of America Stadium and an ABC nationally televised audience on Saturday evening.

“These kids man… You have to understand, they go for so long. 20-30 hours a week grinding for this 15 minutes of joy,” said head coach Kirby Smart. “That joy in the locker room right now is so pure. They love it and they love each other. This is a special team, and they fought their tail off.”
