Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic

Georgia's Kent Lawrence left a lasting impression upon SMU in the 1967 Classic and it didn't take him long to do it. On just the second play of the game, the Bulldog tailback blew through a huge hole over left tackle, cut quickly to the east sideline, and using his blinding speed, sailed 74-yards into the end zone for Georgia's first touchdown. Lawrence's run was spectacular and it proved to be devastating for the Mustangs. SMU never recovered. He ran for 149 yards against the Ponies that afternoon, but it was Lawrence's first carry of the day that set the tone for the rest of the game and carried Georgia to a convincing 24-9 victory.
