UGA vs Clemson. "The Butler Did It!" From 1980-83, Georgia posted the nation's best record: 43-4-1, with the 1980 national title, three straight SEC championships and four consecutive top five finishes. This golden era would extend into the second game of the 1984 season, as All-American Hall of Fame legend Kevin Butler hit a Sanford Stadium-shaking record 60-yard field goal with 11 seconds remaining to provide the final margin in a tremendous Georgia comeback over the #2 Tigers. The win improved Georgia to 2-0, and Butler, as he did in the 26-19 win over Southern Miss in the opener, made four field goals for a second straight game.
