#1. Lindsay Scott Runs Past Florida
5 of 6With only 1:05 remaining, and Georgia’s undefeated season in jeopardy, the Bulldogs took possession on their own seven-yard line, down 21-20, to Florida in the teams’ annual rivalry clash. QB Buck Belue was trapped at the line of scrimmage on first down and threw incomplete on second. Desperate for yardage, he threw a short crossing route to Lindsay Scott, who caught the ball, spun 180 degrees and took off up the left sideline. He outran the Florida defense as legendary Georgia radio announcer Larry Munson yelled, “Run, Lindsay! 25, 20, 15, 10! Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott!” Georgia won, 26-21, and was ranked number one the following Monday.
