Georgia Football: Larry Munson’s 5 greatest calls

“Run Lindsay!….”

Every broadcaster has their one moment, the one that they will always be most remembered for, and in Larry Munson’s case, it combined two things that were the greatest of all – the 1980 National Championship team, and beating the Florida Gators.

The Bulldogs were in danger of wasting the opportunity to become the number one team in the nation by dropping a game to the hated Gators. But a play – a single play – changed not only the the score of the game, but the face of an entire season. Now simply known as “Belue to Scott”, quarterback Buck Belue crushed the hopes of a Gators and helped propel Georgia to college football glory.. Munson’s famous, glorious call –

“Florida in a stand-up five, they may or may not blitz, they won’t. Buck back. Third down on the 8. In trouble. Got a block behind him. Going to throw on the run. Complete to the 25, to the 30. Lindsay Scott 35, 40. Lindsay Scott 45, 50, 45, 40. Run Lindsay! Twenty-five, 20, 15, 10, 5. Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott! … Well, I can’t believe it. 92 yards and Lindsay really got in a footrace, I broke my chair, I came right through a chair, a metal STEEL chair with about a five inch cushion … Do you know what is gonna happen here tonight? And up at St. Simons and Jekyll Island and all those places where all those Dawg people have got those condominiums for four days? MAN, is there gonna be some property destroyed tonight! 26 to 21, Dawgs on top! We were gone. I gave up, you did too. We were out of it and gone. Miracle!
