The two top-20 teams kickoff their season on Saturday at Sanford Stadium. For Georgia, the team is looking for a strong start to the season, an area where they've typically struggled over the years.
"I think it kind of shows the character of your team right off the bat," Bulldogs receiver Michael Bennett told the Associated Press. "We haven't done a really good job lately in the big games at the beginning of the season. It's time we kind of change that streak. We definitely need to get the season started off on the right foot."
Teammate Damian Swann added: "You always want to (win) the beauty contest. That will help later on down the line."
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney also spoke about the importance of winning the opening season game, but qualified it with saying a win or a lose won't determine the outcome of the season.
"God forbid we go down there and lose the game," he said. "But if we do, Georgia's not in the playoffs and we're not out of it. It's a long season, it's a long way to go. And vice versa, if we win the game, let's not punch our ticket to Dallas just yet. We've got a long way to go in a long season. Every game is critical."
The 2014 season marks the first year of the NCAA playoffs, which some college players seem to be excited about.
"I'm very excited," Bennett said. "... It's just a matter of getting into that top four. It sounds so easy. I guess it is easier than getting into the top two. It's real cool. I like it."
