[edit] Run, Lindsay, Run
In 1980, during the Florida-Georgia Game, deep in their own territory, with the a perfect season on the line and only a minute left in the game, Georgia quarterback Buck Belue hit Scott at the Georgia 25-yard-line in stride. Scott darted through Florida's secondary and reached the end zone with only seconds left.
Long-time Georgia radio announcer Larry Munson's play-by-play gave the game and play its name:[2]
Florida in a stand-up five, they may or may not blitz. Belue ... third down on the eight. In trouble, he got a block behind him. Going to throw on the run. Complete on the 25. To the 30, Lindsay Scott 35, 40, Lindsay Scott 45, 50, 45, 40. …. Run Lindsay, 25, 20, 15, 10, Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott.
The game kept alive Georgia's chance for the national title, which they ended up winning.
