What UGA’s last win over Notre Dame meant to the 1980 national title team

When Tim Morrison wakes up every morning, the former Georgia offensive lineman walks through his house to his home office. There, he looks at team photos and a picture of Herschel Walker jumping over his back to score a touchdown against Notre Dame in the 1981 Sugar Bowl. Upon reaching his desk, Morrison opens a drawer to grab his 1980 national championship ring.

The ring isn’t flashy, and it isn’t the most glamorous ring to be given to a Georgia football team, even though it is the only one honoring an undisputed national title.

As Morrison slides the ring onto his right ring finger, he thinks of his teammates.
