1976 SEC CHAMPION UNDERDAWGS
6
straight regular-season wins to finish the ’75
season—including victories over rivals Florida,
Auburn, and
Tech—led to high expectations for the 1976 season. Early wins over Cal and South Carolina
set the tone; solid victories over Vandy , Kentucky,
and tougher-than-expected Cincinnati set the stage for one of the great
comebacks in DAWG history, in Jacksonville over
revenge-minded Florida. Classic
wins over Auburn
and Tech (in the fog) followed.
Here are the highlights of the 1976 season, featuring fierce defense and
long runs from scrimmage by QB (later coach) Ray
Goff.
