Gator Hatin' Herschel

It's Gator hatin' week... And, there has never been a Bulldog better at hatin', or dominatin' Florida than the legendary Herschel Walker.

Herschel was at his best when facing the Gators. His 649 combined rushing yards in three games versus Florida (1980-1982) was the most Walker gained against the eight common opponents he faced during his tenure at Georgia. Herschel averaged 5.5 yards per carry against the Gators, and also scored eight touchdowns.

The 48 points Herschel scored against Florida remains tied with Georgia's Charley Trippi (1942, 1945-1946) for the most points scored all time in this series, ranking just ahead of Florida's Tim Tebow, who scored 42 from 2006 through 2009.
