Smith was responsible for the lone touchdown in Georgia’s 10-3 win over Clemson on Saturday.

Late in the second quarter, with the game tied at 0-0, Smith stepped in between the ball and receiver on a slant route and took an interception 74 yards to the house.

Davis also had a monster performance. The whole nation is talking about the 6-foot-6, 340 pound monster that is Davis. He was incredible on Saturday, recording 3 tackles, 1 sack and 2 tackles for a loss.

Big DT, Jordan Davis is very explosive despite his size. Here he beats the guard trying to down block him and gets in the back field to make the stop for a negative gain pic.twitter.com/Qgbtcw5vbw
