Vince Dooley’s Top 10 wins as Georgia football coach, and what he said about them

The school, working with Dooley, released a list of the legendary coach’s Top 10 wins from his 25-year coaching career.

Included with each one is a comment from Coach Dooley, who passed away on Friday at the age of 90:

1. Jan. 1, 1981: Georgia 17, Notre Dame 10 (Sugar Bowl, New Orleans).

“It had to be the best because it meant the national championship. It was not the prettiest game we ever played but the end result is the reason it has to be number one.”

2. Jan. 2, 1984: Georgia 10, Texas 9 (Cotton Bowl, Dallas).

“We were decided underdogs and undefeated Texas would have been national champions had we not won. The way we won in the last few minutes made it exciting, especially with John Lastinger in his last game as a Georgia quarterback, scoring the winning touchdown and saying ‘Glory, Glory to Ole Georgia” as he handed the ball to the official.”

3. Nov. 8, 1980: Georgia 26, Florida 21 (Jacksonville).
