2019 was easily one of the most tumultuous seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers in more than a decade. After believing they had rid themselves of distractions and could just focus on football, the unthinkable happened. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger finally succumbs to a lingering elbow injury and is lost for the team’s final 14 games.

But Roethlisberger is back. His remarkable comeback is the stuff of legend and this team really feels like they have something special. If you want to see how they went from the lowest of lows to know when hope abounds, check out Roethlisberger’s docuseries chronicling his return from injury on the YouTube channel Rep 1 Football.

Within the first minute of the first episode of Bigger Than Ben, you get just a small taste of what Roethlisberger had to hear from mainstream sports media about him and his team and the sheer volume of vitriol aimed his way, that in hindsight was misguided. This is a series no NFL fan is going to want to miss.

Florida entered it’s 1985 match up with Georgia as the No. 1 ranked team in the country and riding an NCAA leading 18 straight wins.

Georgia running back Tim Worley had the play of the game, tying Johnny Griffith for the longest rushing touchdown in Georgia history.

It’s Tuesday, July 28 and today’s play of the day comes from Georgia at Tennessee in 2013.

No. 6 Georgia was a 14-point favorite when they arrived in Knoxville, Tennessee to face the un-ranked Volunteers. However, the Bulldogs faced an uphill battle when they lost four starting players to injury during the game. Running back Keith Marshall, wide receiver Michael Bennett, wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley and punter Collin Barber all suffered game-ending injuries. Still, the Bulldogs, led by the SEC’s all-time leading passer, Aaron Murray, found themselves down one score with only eight seconds left.

Watch what happened next here:

 

The Bulldogs left Rocky Top with a 34-31 win. The Volunteers received the opening overtime possession, but fumbled into the end zone. Georgia’s Marshall Morgan hit the game-winning 42-yard field goal for the win.

2020 CFB season countdown: 42 days until Georgia football

There are 42 days until Georgia is scheduled to kick off versus Virginia in Atlanta on Sept. 7.

Former Georgia defensive back, No. 42, Bill Krugg (1975-1977) was a three-year starter at safety for the Bulldogs, earning All-SEC honors each season. He was a part of the 1976 Georgia team that finished 10-2 and earned a trip to the Sugar Bowl. Krugg was named Playboy and Southeastern football pre-season All-American in 1977 and finished his career with 13 sacks from the “rover” position.

It’s Friday, July 24 and today’s play of the day comes from the book of clean old fashioned hate – Georgia versus Georgia Tech in 2013.

One of the most exciting games of the classic series, the 2013 matchup featured 75 points and a walk-off touchdown in the second overtime. Georgia star running back Todd Gurley had a monster game, scoring three touchdowns, two of those in overtime.

After Tech’s turnover on downs, it was Georgia’s turn in the second overtime – any points would win the game for the Bulldogs.

First-and-10 from Georgia Tech’s 25-yard-line, Gurley takes an inside hand-off and beats the defense to the end zone for the score and the Georgia win.
