Lindsay Scott: Savior of Georgia’s 1980 National Championship

Former Georgia wide receiver Lindsay Scott has an everlasting legacy and indelible footprint at the University of Georgia, and it all came down to a single play in one crucial game during the 1980 season.

In four seasons at Georgia, Lindsay Scott was Steady-Eddie at the wide receiver position. He was that guy – the one the quarterbacks knew they could count on. He wasn’t explosively fast, overly athletic or particularly big, but he ran good routes and had soft hands. He was dependable and crafty.

He currently sits eighth all-time on Georgia’s career receiving list, and doesn’t even crack the top ten for single-season or single-game records in receiving or total receptions.
