Most memorable Georgia win: 1983 – All-American Terry Hoage knocks away a Vanderbilt pass near the end of the game to save the win for the Dawgs.
Most painful Georgia loss: 1994 – Ray Goff may have lost his job when Vandy ran up the score on the Dawgs in Athens – on Homecoming, no less. Honorable mention 2006 when Vandy shocked Georgia on Homecoming again.

Biggest Weakness: The biggest hurdle for Vandy is the schedule – Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn and Alabama are all on the slate this year. What fun. Lest we forget Kentucky, South Carolina and Wake Forest.
