Bill Bates: We started blitzing, because we didn’t think (Walker) would be able to pick them up. We had a blitz from one of the sides. He cut back to the left, and our coaches always told us to break down for a tackle. So I broke down.
I looked into Herschel’s eyes and realized he wasn’t going to make a move. The next thing I knew, I had footprints on my chest and turned around and saw No. 34 running into the end zone for a touchdown. It was a big deal and something I’ll always remember.

Best one-sentence summary you’ll ever read:

Donnie McMickens: That was the end of my running back career.

aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you thank you thank you so much. There's a little piece of UGA trivia that I had forgotten and for some reason could never remember. I knew HW was 3rd string going into the season and Carnie Norris was ahead on the depth chart. For the life of me I could never remember who else it was.

PHEW.

My first game trip to Neyland.Hot as hell (even though it was at night)Concessions were out of ice by halftime.

I believe it was the largest crowd ever at the time to see a CFB game in the south.

Good article. I wish I was old enough to have witnessed his times at UGA. Must have been a great time to be a Dawg fan.
