BULLDOG BOWL CLIP OF THE DAY (1981 Sugar Bowl) Although Buck Belues performance in the 81 Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame for the national championship was absolutely dreadful, gaining a net of minus-27 yards of total offense on 25 plays, including completing just 1 of 12 passes for 7 yards, when the junior quarterback needed to make plays (make that a singular play), he came through in the clutch. With the Bulldogs leading 17-10 and faced with 3rd down and 7 at midfield with 2:12 remaining, Belue completed his lone pass of the game to Amp Arnold, barely picking up the necessary yardage for a first down. Instead of having to punt, giving the Fighting Irish another chance at a victory, the completion gave Georgia the opportunity to run out the clock and capture that elusive national title.
