It was maddening dude.

The SB after 81 when we played marino and pitt, we were up 20-17 in the 4th. With 42 seconds left and 4th down on our 33, they threw it in the endzone for the win.

Very next year against todd blackledge and PSU, we were within 3 and they hit a 50 yard bomb early in the 4th. We scored again but couldnt' overcome the deficit.

I may have sensationalized the circumstances earlier, but the point was that we lost both sugar bowls (1 for the NC) due to long 4th quarter TD passes. Uggghhhhhhhhhh

The thing that scares me about these Bama guys posting these stats is that they have this chit memorized and don't have to look up the Bama numbers

The best 3 year stretch has to be 1938-1940, Tennessee.


Not including bowl games, opponents scored a total of 16 points, IN 3 YEARS.


A&M gave up 19 points in 1917-1919. Not a single point given up in '17 or '19.

We went 24-1 those 3 years.

Herschel Walker was pretty good


That list also includes the'78 team that went undefeated
in conference play (tied AU) and also the '79 team that
only lost 1 conference game even though the team had an overall record of 6-5.

Obvoiusly HW was on neither.

What coulda been had he stuck around for our top 5 and Cotton Bowl champ (83 team)

How the hell does UGA have only 1 title in this period?

3 SEC losses in 5 years is insane.


'78 and '79 are the reason ... it's actually 2 losses in 6 years if you include '78 and '83 together, tho they also had a tie ... '78 they went 6-5 with 1 sec loss ... lost their first 3 to wf, clemson and usc ... '79 they had 0 losses with a tie ... '83 they had a loss ... not a bad run at all ...

The '79 loss was between the hedges to AU.

From 1978 through 1983, UGa was 3-2-1 against AU, and 30-0 against the rest of the SEC.

ETA: That '79 UGa team was a mystery. Started 0-3 against Wake Forest, Clemson and SCarolina (all decent teams that finished 8-4), won 4 straight in conference (Ole Miss, LSU, Vandy & UK) then got waxed 31-0 at home by a mediocre UVa team before hammering a winless UF in TWLOCP. The SEC had a rule that whenever teams shared the Conference championship, the automatic Sugar Bowl bid would go to the team that had gone the longest since getting invited. Since Bama had gone after the '78 season, if UGa had won the DSOR they would be the SEC's co-champion and Sugar Bowl rep (even if they had lost to Tech the following week and finished 6-5).

I actually applaud the OP for only going back to 1980. I'm sure, being a bama fan, that he knows how dominant bama was during the 70s. But he probably realized if he included those, the thread would just devolve into people calling him a homer for posting stats that hvae bama #1.

Kudos SOG!
