Here is one that I hold close to my heart.
Georgia's 1975 defense, led by Ben Zambiasi, Ronnie Swoopes and Dickey Clark, were thought to be too small; however, they swarmed around the ball like no other team in Defensive Coordinator Coach Erk Russell's memory. Coach Russell came up with the nickname because his undersized defense defended their territory like a pack of mean Junkyard Dawgs.
Jeremy Pruitt is "trying" to bring back some of the above type play . . . . I believe.
Here is a list of the 1975 Georgia Football Team. Check the size and weight of the players. Think one of your close associates or family of the player was on that team. Ray was a tough guy. Also the reason that Herschel Walker chose Georgia, in my opinion.

I love college football, wish we could get back to football and get away from the "stuff" that is ruining a great game. Football as I have said before left a mark on me, a positive force in what I was able to accomplish up until this day.
Edit: Have to add this. One of my favorite players of all time and also one of Erk's. Check the size and weight of Steve Greer. Steve was truly a "junkyard dawg". Feared nothing or no one. Fact.
