The Road To Georgia

SANFORD STADIUM HAS BEEN THE SETTING FOR MANY FOOTBALL GREATS, AND NOW IT’S TIME TO TELL THE STORY OF HOW THEY ARRIVED THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

From the Wally Butts era to the Vince Dooley era to the current Kirby Smart era, recruiting expert Jake Reuse and noted football historian Patrick Garbin provide the inside stories of how and why your favorite players chose to wear the red and black. That process was often rocky. Some players were overlooked; other times rival coaches relentlessly competed to land blue-chip recruits. From Charley Trippi to Herschel Walker to David Pollack, The Road to Georgia features countless interviews with Georgia coaches, opposing coaches, family members, and the players themselves. Reuse and Garbin go back to the start, showing that the road to Athens—and the path between the hedges—is not always straight and narrow for many of the Bulldogs you have come to know and love.
