what was Buck 0 for 17?
I think 1 for 12 for 7yds... was a critical 1st down tho...
Pretty much throughout the 80's UGA QB's routinely threw for less than 1000yds with about a 1 to 2 TD to Int ratio...

No, this was the 1980 season, but the 1981 Sugar Bowl(Jan. 1 1981). Arkansas lost to Texas, who finished 7-5, 23-17 the first game(?) of the 1980 season. It was the 1981 season when the Hogs crushed the Horns.

When Notre Dame Beat LSU 3-0 around 1970 at ND, even the Chicago writers said in bold headlines if Notre Dame is 1, LSU is 1A.
LSU would destroy Notre Dame in the rematch the next year, Andy and Bert had a really good game.

Actually, I'm not going to deny this was a big game. But it was hardly the start of respect for Southern teams. A sizable chunk of the 1960s and 70s was basically the Bama Era of CFB (and the Rose Bowls of the 1920s and 30s, even if they weren't against northern teams are frequently cited as the point where Southern football got everyone's attention.) Hell, they'd beaten Penn State twice and Ohio State once just in the five years preceding this UGA/ND Sugar Bowl.
But, yeah, the Bear just had a massive weakness when it came to ND and Texas.
Speaking of which, Texas beat ND twice before 1981. (Sorry, TAMU fans. I come not to praise Texas, just to give context for CFB history with regards to North/South reputational divides.)

I didn't even realize LSU had gotten a win vs LSU in the 1970s. They definitely should have been included in my post.

I was thirteen. It wasn't that big of a deal. In fact, I don't even remember it.

A Bunch of Farmers Upset Football Tradition
They all laughed when Alabama went to the 1926 Rose Bowl, but when the game was over, nobody looked down on southern teams again

quote:
when Alabama was picked to play in the 1926 Rose Bowl game against the mighty University of Washington football team, it was considered by many to be the worst mismatch in the history of the game. Alabama had a good enough record—nine straight wins—but football experts in the '20s all knew that southern football was barely on a level with junior varsity play in the rest of the country.
As it turned out, Alabama won—in the most thrilling Rose Bowl game ever played—and no one ever again sneered at southern football. Southern teams played in 13 of the next 20 Rose Bowl games, and today teams from the South dominate the big business of bowl games across the nation.
