Georgia safety Christopher Smith returned an interception 74 yards for a touchdown and the Bulldogs' defense held Clemson to 180 total yards in a 10-3 victory Saturday night in the season-opening game for both teams.

The defenses were dominant in front of a crowd of 74,187 at Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium, but it was Georgia's that came up big time and again, sacking Clemson quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei seven times and keeping him under pressure all night.
