On Saturday, the Georgia Bulldogs took home their first win of the 2024 season, defeating the Clemson Tigers in the Aflac Kickoff Game. The game was played in front of a sold-out crowd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
The Bulldogs (1-0) opened the game with a strong start and led 20-3 in the fourth quarter. UGA QB Carson Beck hit sophomore wide receiver London Humphreys for a 40-yard touchdown, lifting fans to their feet and blowing the game open with 9:57 remaining to play.
The Tigers tried to get back in the game with time ticking down, but Georgia Defensive Back Malaki Starks turned it around. With 9:26 left in the game, Starks made a leaping, contorting interception similar to the one he made against Oregon in 2022.
The Bulldogs went on to win it 34-3.
Beck finished 23 of 33, passing for 278 yards and two touchdowns.
The Georgia offense racked up 447 yards, while the Bulldog defense held the Tigers to just 188 yards.
The Bulldogs host their home opener against Tennessee Tech on Saturday, September 7. Kickoff is at 2 p.m.
