ATLANTA — Saturday will be the third game this season that Georgia plays in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Bulldogs won the two previous contests in convincing fashion and safety Chris Smith came down with an interception in both wins.
He picked off Bo Nix in Georgia’s 49-3 Week 1 win. Against LSU, he pulled down a Garrett Nussmeier pass in the second half and returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown.

“Every time I set out on the field I’m trying to make a play, get an interception and help my team win,’ Smith said. “Hopefully that luck keeps going though.”
