Georgia Football: Top 10 teams the Bulldogs have never defeated
3. Pittsburgh Panthers
Two of the toughest losses of the Vince Dooley era came against the Pittsburgh Panthers. In the 1977 Sugar Bowl, Heisman winner Tony Dorsett led the Panthers to a 27-3 win and a National Championship. In the 1982 Sugar Bowl, Dan Marino led Pittsburgh to a 24-20 victory on a hail mary.
But Georgia has played Pittsburgh four times. In the other two games, they tied in 1973 and Georgia lost 19-9 to open the 1975 season.
Recently, Pittsburgh hasn’t been all that great. They’ve only had once 10-win season since 1981 (2009) and they’ve had 14 losing seasons. But Pittsburgh is a program with nine National Championships and 51 All-American’s.
Despite playing four times in nine years, Georgia and Pittsburgh have not met since the 1982 Sugar Bowl. Now that the Panthers are in the ACC a meeting between the two seems more likely than ever. The SEC and ACC have a lot of games against each other and the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff has featured an SEC vs. ACC game eight of the 11 times.
Now it’s just a waiting game for Georgia to finally get the chance to avenge those two heartbreaking losses.
