Clemson vs. Georgia Condensed Game | 2024 ACC Football

1st Quarter on Third and 10 the check down to mafa and a good tackle in the open field by KJ Balden in his sixth year in the Clemson program 24 year old from Tampa goes up spiral Line Drive punt returned by Anthony Evans out to the 32 yd line off of mat magificent first year as the starter last year flips it ahead the Aran Smith the fastest man on their team you asked Mike bomo the coordinator last night who do you want to get going early and he said Arion Smith Dominic love it the motion man and a nice Tackle by Deonte capart in the middle of that defensive front as he took down Branson Robinson who starts at running back they're replacing their top two rushers from a year ago Beck sends it out wide Aran Smith again and another good tackle this one by jayen Lucas the cornerback Beck given time now running out of it behind a veteran offensive line he takes off running has the first down and stumbles down at the Clemson 43 yd line an aspect of Carson Beck's game that's very underrated if you get too aggressive in your pass rush he can hurt you with his legs doesn't like anything [Applause] downfield second and eight Branson Robinson driven Back 40 years after he kicked the last second field goal to beat Clemson from 60 yds away Brett Thorson is the pter and the it'll be down inside the five by Aran Smith Kirby Smart elected to take the play in a two-y gain second and eight mafa outside powerful running and he might have the first down dragged down by railen Wilson he averaged more than 20 touches per game they just went to the ground game and did a lot of this on Third and inches a first down for mafa grad student from Loganville Georgia on on their way to a national championship third down and seven Warren Brinson has come off the field diving catch made in a good one but short of the first down Robinson Remains the running back the pass out wide and another good open field Tackle by a Clemson Defender Dominic love it taken down by RJ mickens graduate student Beck has cash Jones on his left hip they had a three receiver bunch to the right and another good tackle to prevent a first down and Athens even closer play fake by Cade kumnick they have 23 yds of offense so far deep throw and a catch what a throw by Kade kumnick good win against the top cover corner of Georgia Dal Everett Williams injury plague last year got in only five games Davos Sweeney says we are better around kumnick this year in because Williams is back final seconds of the opening quarter and it is reminiscent of that 2021 opener between these two Becks now six out of seven but they've all been short gainers some run after the catch there for a nyard gain for Branson Robinson some spirited conversation 2nd Quarter actually more of a monologue from coach sweee Nate Frasier in a running back after an offseason arrest Carson Beck on first down out to the perimeter and quickly closing was Jaden Lucas on Dylan Bell and the coaches did tell us he will be their number one running back when he becomes active Dominic love it down the sideline and shoved out of bounds by Wade woodz and just a great job Clemson has been selling out against the run so just go with the bit of an extended hand off it's no different really than a triple option Becks eight out of nine passing but for just 44 yds here's cash Jones swung down but close to another first down for the shot play here for the Clemson defense this will be where I'd try to take one downfield second and one catch made by Colby young last time Georgia didn't score in the first quarter of a season opener was 2021 in that game against Clemson the 10 to3 Georgia win the only touchdown of the game on defense Wade woodz took down Branson Robinson osic Oscar Delp lost and lucky will be the tight end group trying to fill the boy with the departure of the great Brock Bowers On Target it's Dylan Bell breaking one tackle he has a first down inside the 15 yd line and this is well covered by Terrell but the timing that Carson Beck releases this ball with is impossible to defend that Ball's out of his hand before Bell makes his in-breaking cut and he's so strong after the catch Bell they moved it to Beck had completed eight in a row they're inside the 10 yd line now that's lost and lucky part of that tight end group they're showing Blitz Beck in trouble and sacked Peter Woods the sophomore and they get some twists up here and you'll see Woods just fill in as there's some disruption caused up front Beck doesn't like anything initially wood here's pton wood ring the sophomore with a terrific freshman year made 21 out of 25 this is a 30 yd attempt Carson Beck is the holder you don't often these days see the starting quarterback doing the hold in but he continues to do that this year couple of shots of coaches here the fake to mafa and then they throw it to him and there's an example of a decision that I think the coaches for Clemson wish was different from kumnick after a 5yd loss Clemson with third down and 12 kumnick On Target and Williams is banged out of bounds short of the first down by about a yard [Applause] and it's l and lucky 6 minutes to go in the half three nothing Georgia Robinson in trouble and stopped behind the line the initial contact by Peter Woods who also finished him off they're one out of four on third down they're not in field goal range here's cat Jones tripped up Shy of the 35 Beck is the [Applause] holder and that one is good Kirby might want to reink the 35 yd line perfect snap perfect hold and it flirted with that left upright the whole way and just ever so slightly like your drive does inside the left edge of the Fairway it cuts right back to the middle and it squeaks inside for a really nice kick there from woodrick Kevin went on to a Long NFL career for many years as the all-time leading score in Chicago Bears history he was the first place kicker inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame mafa Powers ahead 313 to go in the half all three timeouts left for the dogs here's Nate Frasier [Applause] there will be a two-minute timeout that's new in college football this year nice run for first down by the Freshman Frasier from 30 and from 55 a career long Nate Frasier the running back [Applause] again stopped at the 37 perhaps the 38 five yds for Frasier four penalties wor 35 yds for Georgia all of them on the offense Branson Robinson just 126 yds on those 15 3rd Quarter completions ordinarily is a deep down the field thrower Arion Smith of course Mike Bobo is using the communication right into the helmet of Carson back there's a nice call well executed Smith again first down inside the Clemson for and a play really similar that we just saw a second ago where they dumped it in the flat to Dominic love it this time and Mike roach the referee one all the way over to the sideline to take an earful from Kirby Smart Dylan Bell Dylan Bell down the sideline and out of bounds near the five calling by Mike Bobo and just using their speed at their advantage trying to play on the perimeter I think they thought originally hey we can probably go downhill against this Clemson team they're not huge up front defensively they do and it is caught for a touchdown he beat Jaden Lucas in coverage you can see it from a mile away Lucas lined off and inside that's absolute giveaway for the back shoulder fade it's perfectly thrown by Carson Beck he throws young away from the defender one out of six on third down the average to go eight yds hard to convert when you have that much distance kabnick scho yard play and it worked if you watch berning St on the left side he's on a shallow cross him he's wide open and he just keeps running it's Zone coverage he's got to sit that down and make it easier on his quarterback but he bails him out with an incredible one-handed catch just going up and reeling it in very very impressive by the tight end he became such a huge weapon for them last season and on the plus side of Midfield in this game Damon Wilson called for the roughing the passer [Applause] mafa stopped at the 32 yd line dalen Everett has the coverage at the bottom of your screen clck to The Far Side of the field nice move by Antonio Williams Julian Humphrey got back in the play first trip to the Red Zone today nice fake by clck Brenning stools open he lowered his head and came up a little bit short of the first down yardage KJ Balden so Clemson on the Move third down and two down 13 to nothing almost Midway through the third quarter mafa first down a powerful run out of the gun with mafa oh the running back a fake to the motion man and Georgia not fold Mel Williams was right there and glck slipped down as he tried to avoid him it's a loss back to the nine Colin Sadler in for the previously injured Marcus Tate going against one of the best defensive linemen in the country just can't quite pin him out Nolan Hooser who kicked 66 field goals in high school in Cornelius North Carolina little different kicking in front of 71 ,000 on national TV in the opener in week zero last weekend most of college football begins this weekend play faked by Beck and all alone in the flat Nate Frasier B on defense for Clemson and the play goes all the way to the 49 yd line where Kobe McLoud ran down Frasier after a gain of 24 the this game has been number zero Barrett Carter and Wade wood as at linebacker Will Kobe McLoud comes in give wood as a little bit of a break and he busts on the first snap does not find Frasier back fires on Target London humph his first catch as a Georgia Bulldog and a great throw here by Carson Beck eyes vertical the whole way you can see khil doing just a little bit he throws it right behind him and a terrific catch by Humphrey one of 11 they brought in out of the transfer portal Beck pulls it down and runs for what looks to be a first down first and 10 they're at the 18th Frasier breaks it tackled and gets knocked down on the second try by Damonte capart though the roof is closed it is warm inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium Nifty moves love it down to the goal line tou down and Ser has found its groove on opening day and when you watch Love It at Missouri a couple years ago this one they come to the line quickly after the 13 yd gain Frasier into the end [Applause] zone and just a great job washing down by the left side of the offensive line and you got to give some love too to number seven lost and lucky who kicks out [Applause] here's mafa knocking down would be tacklers as he comes up just shy of the 35 yd line 3835 he scored the winning touchdown of that game 17 seconds to go it was 2110 Kentucky going to the fourth quarter of that one mafa dropped for no gain by Jaylen Walker the hybrid linebacker 42 players drafted out of George in the last four years kumnick kept it and he gets stopped short of the line the game and just the right side the defender number five railen Wilson completely blows it up Kate kumnick somehow rescues it gives himself a chance but that play had no shot from the beginning Mike Bobo said he would use it very sparingly maybe occasional reminder tacked on to a play about the down and distance or hey we might go for it on fourth down here and uh play the next moment all right thank you coach 4th Quarter thank you on target Club Nick to Tyler Brown they were fifth in scoring defense and that's really what it's all about on third down and short mafa has the first down if you are Clemson here would you consider picking up the tempo getting up to the here they come Chick-fil-A peach bow and the national championship game will be here Club Nick in trouble looked like he was down before he threw it away pressure from Jaylen Walker they're leading SackMan from a year ago with five kumnick just too slow to react as Walker was coming around the side let's see looked like the left knee was down before he released it and there it is ball clearly still in the hand just seven first downs for the Tigers 135 total yards of offense Aiden Swanson a good punt sending Anthony Evans back inside the 35 might be a tired punt coverage [Applause] unit Branson Robinson in it running back they faked it to him Beck On Target first down I mean it's not he's never going to have statistically eye popping ridiculous numbers cuz he's got such a great Supporting Cast but he's been very solid today St in gets it off London humph down the sideline and into the end zone here and this is a 40-yd touchdown and Humphrey on the shallow cross uses the Umpire as a little bit of a pick right there he crosses face and there's nobody out the back door Humphrey is the transfer from Vanderbilt unbelievable top end speed and once he gets into the open field it's going to be really hard to track down and big play again all right Kevin thank you we said something very interesting when Kevin threw it back to us for the first time hit the editing room floor Kade kumnick On Target first down to Tyler Brown here's Molly all right Molly thank you Club Nick lets it go deep and it is intercepted by the allamerican Malachi Starks comes in the building where Starks made a impressive M of Debut against Oregon two years ago that is absolutely ridiculous by Malachi Starks I mean he played it just like a wide receiver and yet he's in coverage eyes back to the inside immediately stays in Phase with the wide receiver times his jump perfectly and rolls and high points that ball before securing it and roote to the ground just an absolutely ridiculous interception from the All-American with which he played most of the year had surgery in the off season here's Nate Frasier Nate Frasier what a debut all the way to the Clemson 38 yd line 40 yds on the run we're comparing him to DeAndre Swift we're getting I mean he moves like him even just put a number seven on that Jersey I feel like he's the exact same guy very Shifty but you see the acceleration too I mean guys 10500 100 met Dash guide they have completely stifled Clemson all day long and now the offense is picking it up and Nate Frasier adding to his terrific College debut Jaden Lucas made the tackle and came away lipping a bit down goes Frasier took a long time to get that cliche in knocked himself out here's Branson Robinson down down to the 15 and now some tempers flaring Carson Beck one under Center Jones bounces it outside delivers a stiff arm stumbl toward the pylon touchdown Progressive pylon can does he stay in bounds yes looks like he does again again and colliding with the pylon right there yeah from that angle it looked questionable but from the down the line one that we saw a lot of great things being done in the name of Charity Associated to college football Phil mafa with the return at least to many around outside their program their fan base the slide of the program there's a quick pop to Antonio Williams and after 6 years in a row in it they weren't in it the last 3 years only eight different programs were in it the last 3 years to his point out of 134 and you're going to have a couple valleys as well because the portal can be used as kind of a Band-Aid to a possible vulnerability if you have a problem or a hole at safety of this recruiting class for Kirby Smart at 20 ESPN top 300 recruits clck throws it out to TJ Moore headliner in their Clemson recruiting class George is the first first school to sign 20 of the ESPN top 300 in consecutive recruiting classes here's Phil mafa I understand to get back to the transfer portal thing goes from where it was to where it becomes when you have guys get banged up you just don't have the depth if you don't have some veteran experience that you can get out of the portal seventh play of this drive for Clemson there's Olen Pat Henry part of their tight end group 12% of their starts are from Portal players little bit just so you don't become a freshman in the event of an injury and a nice play behind the line of scrimmage trying to take something positive out of this off the hands of Cole Turner and up in the air an incomplete pass and Georgia will take over on Downs Capital One Labor Day kickoff Gunner Stockton is the new quarterback taking over for Carson Beck and Chanty Bowens is the ball carrier and knowing the dline that A&M has and the dline that the Irish have I think that's going to be a low-scoring dog fight and it might be the team that makes the fewest mistakes that ultimately wins it very impressive opening win 11 straight season openers won by Georgia including all nine now under Kirby Smart
