Best Of UGA - Vol. 3 / Pt. 1 "The Plays"

I realize I might be cheating a bit, but I decided to split my favorite plays into a 2 part post since there will be links and a few imbedded videos which make make one post way to long/hard to follow. So here are choices 10-6 for my favorite personally witnessed UGA plays since 1994 (the play will either have a link to view via Youtube or be imbedded):


10. Boss Bailey Leaping Tall Buildings
Georgia vs. Tennessee / October 12, 2002


Watch how high Boss gets on this field goal attempt, it seriously is the highest I've ever seen anyone jump!





9. Cahill Calls It From the Upper Deck
Georgia vs. Virginia Tech / December 30, 2006


Rebecca and I got to go to the Chick-fil-A (aka Peach) Bowl that year and had seats way up in the rafters of the Dome. After an abyssmal first half that saw UGA fall behind 21-3, we came out with a bit of momentum to start the second half and got a field goal to make it 21-6. As the teams were coming out of the TV timeout, I turned to the guy sitting next to me and said "Boy, I'd love to see a suprise onside kick right here." And wouldn't know know that is EXACTLY what Georgia pulled off (at the 33 second mark on the link and then again at 2:15 with more analysis from the TV guys). There were many other plays that helped guide us to a great comeback win that night, but I'll always remember the fact that I was an honorary special teams coach (at least for one play).


8. The Leap
Georgia vs. Central Michigan / September 6, 2008


Besides the obvious unbelieveable athleticism displayed by Knowshon Moreno on this play, we were lucky to have Zachary with us at the game. After watching the play, he turned to me and said "Did you SEE that Daddy?!?!" I sure did Zachary, and I look foward to seeing many more great plays with our children in the future.


7. The Fake Out
Georgia vs. Vanderbilt / October 19, 2002


Now THAT is how a QB executes a play-action pass. I felt for the Vandy defensive back who got fooled. He probably got a 1600 on his SAT but yet couldn't pay attention to where a football was.

6. One and Done Baby!
Georgia vs. Alabama / September 22, 2007

A classic back and forth tussel with UGA and the Crimson Tide could not be settled in 60 minutes. Having won the OT coin toss, we wisely chose defense first so we could see how many points we would need. Bama got a field goal to make it 23-20, and we took over on the 25 yard line. What a great call my Mike Bobo and the offensive staff to go for broke on the first play. Although we were way on the other side of the stadium, it was bedlam once it happened.
