Georgia's Kirby Smart says Clemson and Georgia kicking off the season is a game that catches the eye.
The Tigers will take on the No. 1 Bulldogs Saturday in Atlanta in the Aflac Kickoff Game (Noon, ABC). This is the first time the rivals have met since Georgia earned a 10-3 victory in Charlotte in 2021. With both teams ranked in the Top 15, the Bulldogs found motivation in the offseason.
"I think your build-up, your offseason program, everybody says that,” Smart said of the game providing motivation. “There's truth to that when you know that sign sitting in our locker room or weight room of how many days until kickoff, and you're able to say, OK, not only is it 20 days, 15 days, 10 days to kickoff.
