ATHENS, Ga. — Those who caught Saturday’s Georgia-Tennessee game caught an instant classic. And if this was the final time that Verne Lundquist was the lead play-by-play voice for a game at Sanford Stadium, then he ended on an incredibly high note with Josh Dobbs’ “Hail Mary” throw to Jauan Jennings to win it 34-31.
The veteran broadcaster is in his final season on the “SEC on CBS” telecasts. Georgia’s loss on Saturday likely means that CBS will not return to their Sanford stadium this season.
I had the chance to catch up with Lundquist before the game to get his thoughts on one of college football’s most recognizable stadiums.
