Scott Woerner
Sugar Bowl Hall of Fame
Georgia
Sugar Bowl: 1981
Inducted: 2018
While Herschel Walker earned Most Outstanding Player honors when Georgia capped its national championship season in the 1981 Sugar Bowl, Scott Woerner may have been just as deserving. The senior cornerback tallied three tackles, three pass break-ups and a pair of interceptions in Georgia’s 17-10 win over Notre Dame. His first interception came in end zone and he also broke up a third-down pass in the end zone, but no play was bigger than his pick-off of a Notre Dame pass with 2:56 to go to clinch the victory. Head coach Vince Dooley said, “His secondary play in the Sugar Bowl was one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen.” The consensus All-American was inducted into College Football Hall of Fame in 2016.
