Turnover margin
There was one area where Clemson bested Georgia last season. That was the turnover margin. For how good the Bulldogs were on defense last season, they struggled to force turnovers, only recovering three fumbles and intercepting their opponent 14 times for 17 turnovers. Clemson, on the other hand, forced 28 total turnovers, 12 coming from fumbles and 16 from interceptions.
Georgia was careful when it had the ball, only coughing up the ball 14 times all season, while Clemson did give up more with 22. However, the Tigers were +6 in turnover margin, and the Bulldogs were +3. Clemson might have given up more turnovers than Georgia, but it forced much more, too.
