Inscription. Known famously to the Georgia faithful as the "flea-flicker" game, the Bulldogs pulled off an iconic trick play and upset the Crimson Tide. Kirby Moore hit Pat Hodgson on a curl route, followed by the lateral to Bob Taylor who sped down the North Sideline into the East End Zone. Moore then connected with Hodgson for the two-point conversion, and the defense would hold on. It was a monumental victory for young second-year coach Vince Dooley over "Bear" Bryant in a match-up of Hall of Fame coaches. (Marker Number 1965.)
