Were you on the team the year of the “night the chain broke”?Actually it's called "Playing in those games or on Staff as a Student Assistant" and still able to remember the anomaly of one QB playing a whole game under Carson
That was the agreed to norm for that game in that era. The 1971 Thanksgiving Night Robbery by the SECheats Game was the only one I remember UGag playing in white jerseys against us.
Was on varsity 1969-1971..... was the chain break '67?
I do think it was 1967. If I recall correctly, UGA went for a 4th down, and it appeared short. But when they stretched the chain, it broke. They “repaired” it and seemingly took up a link or two and voila…they got the mark by about an inch
Thank you! I did not know that I will fix the rankings!

Nothing.... But for this ranking he didn't beat UGA
My Grandfather was a huge Billy Lothridge fan!!!
JT has 1 loss vs the Dawgs, Joe lost 2 times....
He was still one of our best QBs
Wow, that’s unrecognizable as Sanford & Son stadium to me. I guess that’s the end zone opposite the railroad tracks?
Geez, I guess things never change.
Yep, that was the trestle or east end zone.
As much as I love me some Justin Thomas. Joe Hamilton was a better football player. You can see it in their names “magic Joe Hamilton”. And “smooth”. If you ever built a qb with Thomas speed and Hamiltons hips, nobody would ever tackle that guy.
The team took that game off. It’s usually on the coach when that happens but I’ll cut CPJ some slack on that one, he was ready to kick the ball off at 7am. I also think there were some ncaa people running around about the same time.
I was at the 1970 game … great pass from Williams to Wysong. UGA tried some dumb trick play deep in their territory and turned the ball over and that was pretty much the ball game. In 8 quarters of football played in 69 & 70 UGA scored a total of 7 points. That defense was pretty darn stout led by Rock Perdoni and Smylie Gebhart.
Ok Maybe this will make your day: Ranking by Most wins against UGA in Modern era:
