Man, the UGA game that year was a physical intimidation a--whipping of the highest order. Great stuff. Tim Worley, who was a big man and no slouch, wanted no part of our D after about 2-1/2 quarters, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augolf1716 21,096 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The 1957 defense was the best 28 total points for the year. That an average of 2.8 per game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm remembering correctly, Quentin Riggins laid one of the most vicious mask to mask licks on Tim Worley that I've ever seen. Stood him straight up and made him look to the sky. MAN, this is firing me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the Houston game or the Fla St game. Remember they played both ways back then and the defense held six of the ten games to shutouts and no team scored more than 7 points on them. Pretty amazing if you think about it. You will never see that kind of defense again at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
