No. 8 Clemson Rides Boyd past No. 5 UGA

Clemson QB Tajh Boyd accounted for 5 TDs (3 passing, 2 rushing), and WR Sammy Watkins had 127 Yards Receiving, as #8 Clemson defeated the Dawgs on Saturday Night in Death Valley for their 2nd straight victory over a Top 10 SEC opponent.

The Clemson Defense collected 4 sacks against Georgia QB Aaron Murray, who struggled to move the Bulldogs when it counted. In a back and fourth affair, two costly mistakes in the Red Zone turned the tide for the Tigers. Late in the 2nd quarter with the score tied at 21 and Georgia driving deep into Tiger territory, Clemson DE Corey Crawford dropped back into coverage and intercepted an Aaron Murray pass at the Tiger's 17 yard line, denying the Dawgs an opportunity to take the lead into Halftime.

Later, after a 4th QTR go-ahead FG by Catanzaro put the Tigers ahead 31-28, Georgia had a chip-shot try for a tying kick on its next possession, but couldn't get if off because of a low snap by Nathan Theus.
