Georgia football’s most well-known play turns 40 this Saturday.

On November 8th Georgia football goes into Jacksonville, Florida to once again take on the Florida Gators. If this date sounds familiar it is because on this same date, November 8th, in 1980 that the most famous play in Georgia’s history unfolded. Buck Belue hit Lindsay Scott on a crossing route that Scott would take 93 yards to the endzone and seal an unlikely victory over the hated Gators.

It is said that this play is one of those moments in sports history where everyone that saw it remembers exactly where they were and what they were doing when it happened.
