Georgia’s defense was expected to be elite heading into the 2021 season, and the Bulldogs have certainly lived up to that expectation through one half of play against No. 3 Clemson.
The No. 5 Bulldogs lead 7-0 at halftime, and the lone touchdown was scored via a pick-6 from Christopher Smith.
But, how rare is it that Clemson scored 0 points in a half? Well, it hasn’t happened in more than a decade:
First time #Clemson has been shut out in the first half since 2010.

The last team to shut out Clemson in the first half? No. 25 NC State on Nov. 6, 2010. Clemson won that game 14-13.
Will Georgia be able to avoid a similar fate? The second half will kick off soon on ABC.
