What a Difference
What a difference a play makes. Ask Justin Scott-Wesley or Murray for Heisman. Had that been a pick instead of a touchdown pass Murray would not be over the hump as a player, UGA would be .500, Richt would be…
Mike Bobo’s Legacy
Quarterback Mike Bobo was supposed to be great, after being very good in head coach Ray Goff’s last season at the helm. That was the year I lived down in Florida, and I was glued to an old television set…
