'80 Jawga vs Us on SEC Network
- Thread starter jimnasium
- Start date
I can't watch it. I saw it the first time. That's the game that could have made all the difference for Carlen going forward.
I remember I couldn't believe they put George back in the game after coming out with a hand injury then giving him the ball.
He was the nation's leading rusher after all. Yet it was Carl West who scored our only touchdown in that game - from 30-something yards out, I think. All that game - and season - proved was that Herschel Walker was the best player in the country - even as a freshman. And he rushed for more than 230 yards in this game. I haven't seen the game since the day it was played, but I'll never forget how we lost it. Even after George's fumble, we forced Georgia to punt and would have at least had another crack at scoring. But then we roughed the punter. They retained possession and ran out the clock. Loser football in the fourth quarter.
I was there and the ugaly fans were just as bad back then. That was a tough ticket to get as I recall. I was a sophomore. Where does time go.

Man it was fun when he was on the sideline. Too early to tell but they may have Ray Goff II on their hands right now.
Mutts are pretty quiet and this is usually their favorite time of year
I watched some of that last night. I saw one shot of the UGA sideline where was a "Bobo" (player) on the sideline - Mike Bobo?
Always interesting to watch those old games and see how 'little' guys were then compared to now. Heard the announcers talking about a couple of big SC players Andrew Provence (and someone else) at 250-255lbs!

I noticed that. By today's standards, that scoreboard was pretty pitiful! Now, high schools have better! LOL
Probably the biggest game in the country that day. We had just beaten Michigan up there.
I remember Keith Jackson intro "It's the battle of the deep south". That was one of the hardest hitting games I ever watched but we made more mistakes and lost.
Getting ready for our trip to the SEC champinship. I think there is at least the same chance USC has Ray GoffII on their hands as we do. Time will tell on that one. If Kirby fails and Muschamp is successful, we will hire him.
High hopes for a team that lost at home to Vandy and Georgia Tech last season. Not to mention barely pulling out games against Nicholls Kentucky and Missouri.
Yes you beat us, but Perry Orth looked like Dan Marino against that Swiss cheese D. Bentley will be better against it.
