Bulldog Great Recalls Greatest Game
06.10.11
College football season is now in full swing, meaning the Georgia Bulldogs are once again the topic of many Monday morning water cooler conversations. With this fact in mind, the Rotary Club of Vinings treated its members on Wednesday to a conversation with Lindsay Scott, one of the most notable “Dawgs” in the history of UGA football.
Georgia fans who are old enough to appreciate the legendary 1980 game in which the Bulldogs dramatically beat the Florida Gators will remember quarterback Buck Belue’s pass to Scott. It was a fairly short pass, but Scott turned it into a 93-yard catch and run for a game-winning touchdown in the closing moments of the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs' 26–21 victory moved them to No. 1 in the next round of the national polls, enabling them to win the 1980 consensus national championship
Scott was at the Rotary Club of Vinings, along with author Robbie Burns, to promote a book outlining that fateful game, revealing new details that even die-hard Bulldog fans might not know about. This information includes insight into commentator Larry Munson’s well-known call on the play, which has at times overshadowed the play itself.
