Greatest Plays in UGA History

Some of the greatest plays in UGA history. Most of these plays I am familiar with, but not all. Much easier with all the information to steal off www.georgiadogs.com You'd think Tech would have a more thorough website, but they hardly have anything.

Charley Trippi's 79 yard punt against Auburn in 1945 (in Columbus).
