Peyton Manning shares amazing Kirby Smart-Steve Spurrier story: ‘He was so mad’
Peyton Manning, Kirby Smart and Steve Spurrier are three of the biggest names in SEC lore. Two of them are iconic, championship-winning coaches. All three were All-SEC players in their heyday, with Spurrier winning the Heisman Trophy.

Well UGA, coached by CKS, did thump SCjr , coached by Spurrier, so bad that Spurrier quit midseason. So there is that. Witnessed, by all, who the top dog was in that fight.

Actually, that was Mark Richt's team that whupped Spurrier so bad he called it quits. Further, the rumor that SC was going to hire Smart as their new head coach may have caused Georgia to let Richt go sooner than they planned. Funny how things work out.
Right. My bad. Thanks go to MRicht for booting SS into irrelevancy. I don't think CKS would've considered SCjr seriously. But UGA couldn't take the chance.
Consider this. CKS, from south GA, gets that offer from SS and goes to FU. Becomes an FU alumnus and goes on to coach FU.......shutter. SS probably had a Tee time and blew off his recruiting time with the coach's kid from Bainbridge.
Amazing? Its a story. Kinda cool story I suppose. Was interesting. Most interesting part was that they went and drank a lot of beer, when the legal drinking in FL and GA was 21 then. But 0% amazed.
Let's move forward now and watch Smart take it to Heupel this Saturday..that will make the NCAA football history books.
Here’s your trivia question for the ages: Who was the QB for UGA who annihilated SC, set a NCAA record for percent completions and sent Spurrier walking?
That was one of my most favorite games that I ever saw at Sanford stadium .
We put up 52 on spurrier (late score to tally such) because spurrier had done that to the Dawgs the only time UF came to Athens.
Even though Coach Richt coached the Dawgs that day, we can rest easy knowing that Coach Kirby NEVER forgets! Thanks to this article, we have a little backstory as to why!
Grayson Lambert …a DGD!
Yikes!!! You are correct and they were likely 17 years old 😬
Yes indeed….it was Grayson Lambert and I think his passing record is still standing.
And Kirby is about to make it 6-1 vs the Vols !! Go Dawgs !!
