Guys, the passing game wasn't "terrible" in 1980. It's just that the rules favored the running game (which is how I think it should be). Today, everybody thinks a "great game" is 63-56, not 7-0.

This was the year that George Rogers won the Heisman.  Before he went to S. Carolina, his high school played my school from time to time. It was like watching a grown man playing with boys. I remember watching George run uuuuup and then dooooown the field all game long. Crazy.

230lb O-lineman? Geez that's tiny.

It was great to watch college football back in the 1970's and '80's when the star tailbacks would carry the ball 35 to 45 times a game! Stadiums would be filled to see heros such as Tony Dorsett, Earl Campbell, Billy Sims, Charles White, George Rogers, Marcus Allen, Herschel Walker, Mike Rozier, Bo Jackson, Barry Sanders, and I let's not forget about Eric Dickerson, Marcus DuPree, Lorenzo White, Emmitt Smith, Anthony Thompson, and Vaughn Dunbar. There were a lot of others that I didn't mention, but they were all great, amazing athletes!

ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT RECORDING of this CLASSIC GAME with 2 HEISMAN WINNERS!!
BRAVO BRAVO & THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRICELESS MEMORY 🙏🙏🙏🏈🏈🏈🏈

54:45 "Herschel Walker-get used to the name." Keith Jackson was prophet.

Prsonmike as a young dawg fan thanks for the vintage games and highlights it let's me study and enjoy more uga football history

After all these years Still my favorite play by 'There Goes Herschel' #34 !❤👍🤗☝️🏆👑

Walker's HUGE run is at 52:56.....

Thanks prsonmike. This is one of those “under the radar” great rivalries.  On the West Coast ( where I live), people overlook this game. But I get the feeling that these schools don’t like each other, and always highlight this game on the schedule. Just ask Georgia in 2019!

Two great backs. Hershel had a rip-a-away jersey. They eventually banned that type jersey.

I went to the game with my late father and despite the loss which was a killer it was a fun day. Eddie Leopard the SC kicker and Jeff Hipp who played Free Safety at UGA were my teammates in high school.

Only a few games in college football history have you got 2 heisman winners. Another game was Walker's last year and bo Jackson's freshman year.
Troy Smith and tim tebow played in 2006
Charlie ward and Danny Wuerffel
Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow

Former Georgia quarterback and future heir apparent to Vince Dooley was South Carolina’s running backs coach Ray Goff in 1980.

I was there watching my friend play Dale will number 9

In 1980, unless you were BYU or other teams in the WAC, passing attacks were not very sophisticated. This was age where the running game was king. A RB always won the Heisman ( including Rogers and Walker), and was usually the #1 pick in the draft.

Is it me or dont the players look a little older back then.

Thanks for all you do prsonmike! You are a Damn Good Dawg!

Walker is 18 years and 7 months old
Very hard to believe

250lb O lineman, just makes you think how bad ass Walker was being as fast and as big
