“We frustrated and confused them,” Smart said. Even when Georgia turned the ball over they couldn’t take advantage of it
Clemson didnt score until 9:08 left in the game when Joseph Ngata caught a 44-yard reception and a defensive pass interference call set up a 22-yard a field goal for B.T Porter helping the Tigers avoid a shutout since 2003.
DJ threw 19-37, 178 yards, and 1 int. “I didnt play well today and everyone could see that,”Uiagalelei said.
JT Daniels had his struggles as well along with not having his main top targets to start the season due to injury … The run game wasn’t its usual but it got the job done in the 4th, throwing 22-30, 135 yards, and 1 INT
Overall Georgia’s defense may be the best in the country after holding Clemson to 2 rushing yards and 7 sacks and not giving Uiagalelei a chance to set up in the pocket.
