Clemson vs. Georgia: How to watch, odds, injuries, and series history
By Josh Yourish
When Nick Saban finally retired after falling to Michigan in the College Football semifinal last winter, Kirby Smart and Dabo Swinney became the only two active college football head coaches with multiple national championships on their resumes and along with Mack Brown are the only three active head coaches who have won it even once.
Now, in Week 1 of the 2024 college football season, Smart’s top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs will face Swinney’s 14th-ranked Clemson Tigers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the Aflac Kickoff Game. The last time that Georgia began its season with a win over the Tigers was in 2021 and the Dawgs went on to win the first of back-to-back national championships. That's the expectation again this year for Smart's team.
Georgia’s schedule this season is a gauntlet that features three road trips to play preseason top 10 teams, but it begins with a non-conference bout against Clemson, a longtime rival, and here’s how you can watch.
