November 8, 1980 was the day … ‘I gave up, you did too. We were out of it and gone. Miracle.’

For me, the four greatest Georgia-Florida games came in 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983. It was the Golden Era of Georgia football, and so much of the incredible success from those four seasons was authored in Jacksonville. I was eight, nine, 10 and 11 for those triumphs.

Wheelhouse.

In 1980, when Lindsay Scott caught Buck Belue’s pass, turned and raced 93 yards for the most famous touchdown in Georgia history and one of the most significant plays in collegiate football annals, an emotional journey was made from the Marianas Trench to Mount Everest.

Utter despair just a few seconds later was transformed into sheer euphoria.
