Nick Chubb powered the No. 18 Georgia Bulldogs to a 33-24 victory over the 22nd-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels in the 2016 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game on Saturday.
Georgia (1-0) used an outstanding defensive effort to contain Mitch Trubisky and Co., earning a significant nonconference win and winning the first game of the Kirby Smart era.
North Carolina (0-1) simply couldn't get out of its own way. The Tar Heels committed 13 penalties for 101 yards.
True freshman Jacob Eason made his debut for Georgia, which faces a larger quarterback controversy moving forward.
