ATLANTA -- It was only three years ago when Clemson and Georgia slugged it out for four quarters in the 2021 season opener in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The teams were nearly equally matched, and the game's only touchdown came on Georgia safety Christopher Smith's 74-yard return of an interception in the Bulldogs' 10-3 win.
Back then, Georgia was the program trying to get its footing under coach Kirby Smart and looking for its first national title since 1980. Clemson was the powerhouse, having captured two CFP championships in the previous five seasons under coach Dabo Swinney.
