A Must Read

http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1124107/1/index.htm

SI article chronicling UGA's last national championship. If your recollection is something like mine; a great win over Florida, featuring a great running back and defense, in a year where we mostly dominated, you'd be a little off. Some of the stories within the story are nothing short of amazing, particularly the way Notre Dame statistically dominated the Sugar Bowl. This excerpt to whet your appetite:

Notre Dame ran the ball down Georgia 's throat, getting 328 yards total offense to the Dogs' 127. Considering that Herschel Walker ran for 150 yards all by himself, that meant the rest of the Bulldog ballcarriers needed backup lights on their hip pads. Notre Dame, which theretofore had a pitiful passing attack, even threw it down Georgia 's throat—138 yards to seven. The Dogs' only completion came with just two minutes remaining in the game.
