Georgia’s Belue-to-Scott 93-yard passing play, which defeated Florida in 1980, easily advanced in the tournament’s opening two rounds. The play soundly defeated both Hines Ward’s two-point flip against Texas Tech in 1996 and Scott Woerner’s 98-yard interception return versus Clemson in 1980 with 97 percent of the vote. Belue to Scott faces the Flea-Flicker passing play from the 1965 Alabama game. Head coach Vince Dooley’s trickery against the Crimson Tide and legendary “Bear” Bryant advanced over Will Witherspoon’s two-point pass deflection to beat LSU in 1999, with 86 percent of the vote, followed by barely getting by the 80-yard Appleby-to-Washington touchdown to ultimately defeat Florida in 1975 with 51 percent of the vote.

Can the famed Flea-Flicker again advance past another big play by the Bulldogs in Jacksonville? You decide. Your vote is important in deciding the greatest play in UGA football history. VOTE HERE.
