News about Vince Dooley

During Georgia's 42-20 destruction of the Florida Gators, Bulldog tight end Brock Bowers made a spectacular touchdown catch. After being tipped by the defender, Bowers was able to make an outstanding spinning, juggling catch that had all the way to the endzone for a 73-yard touchdown. Daijun Edwards and Kenny McIntosh both scored for two touchdowns each, and the Bulldogs took victory from Florida after a second-half scare to triumph in the competition dubbed "the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party."

Vince Dooley, a football coach who carried himself as a professor and guided Georgia for a quarter-century of glory, which included the 1980 national championship, died on Friday at the age of 90. Dooley died peacefully at his Athens home with his wife, Barbara, and their four children, according to the school. No reason was given for the death. Dooley was hospitalized earlier this month for what was described as a mild case of COVID-19, but he recovered fully and smiled at the campus bookstore ahead of his game against Vanderbilt on October 15.
