Clemson beats Georgia in opener

Clemson became the first non-SEC team in college football history to defeat top-10 SEC opponents in consecutive games with its 38-35 win over Georgia on Saturday night. A back-and-forth affair throughout, the No. 8 Tigers opened up a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter on Stanton Seckinger’s nine-yard touchdown catch from Tajh Boyd and hung on to defeat the No. 5 Bulldogs in the first season-opening meeting of top-10 teams in school history. Clemson had defeated No. 7 LSU 25-24 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl to end last season.
