UGA Football: Frierson Chats With Christopher Smith

By John Frierson

Christopher Smith forever earned a place in Georgia football lore in the Bulldogs’ season-opening win over Clemson. His 74-yard interception return for a touchdown in Georgia’s 10-3 victory was the defensive duel’s only TD. It was also the senior from Atlanta’s first career interception.

Smith broke into the starting lineup midway through the 2020 season and has been making big plays ever since. As the top-ranked Bulldogs, who have already clinched the SEC East title and a spot in the SEC Championship Game, prepare to take on Missouri on Saturday, Smith talked about the interception, how the team is staying focused, his favorite Halloween candy, and much more.

Here’s some of what he had to say:

Frierson: Do people still come up to you and want to about the interception and touchdown against Clemson?

Smith: It’s died down a little bit since it first happened, when that was all I was hearing about. People still come up to me and talk about it, and I’m always happy to have a conversation about anything like that. It was a great play and it definitely helped propel our season, so it was great to be able to be a part of that.
