Nearly three decades after Ohio State and Georgia met up for the first time, Will Muschamp is still celebrating and taking shots at the Buckeyes.
College football players never graduate and college football never ends. Will Muschamp is a pretty great example of that and he’s still gloating about an iconic win he was a part of from just shy of 30 years ago.
Long before he was a defensive coordinator for the folks in Athens, Muschamp was a pretty solid walk on defensive back for the Georgia Bulldogs. During Muschamp’s time as a safety for the Bulldogs, he got to be a part of some pretty special teams, including a Georgia team that got a 21-14 win over the Ohio State Buckeyes in the 1993 Citrus Bowl.
It’s clear that Muschamp has plenty of fond memories of that contest and he’s going to let everyone know about it, including ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit.

While Muschamp and his Bulldogs were celebrating an impressive win, Herbstreit was on the other sideline with the Buckeyes as they suffered a loss on one of college football’s biggest stages.
And of course, Muschamp wants to make sure that Herbstreit remembers that game. When Muschamp was doing a press conference to discuss the upcoming match up between the Bulldogs and Buckeyes, Muschamp tossed this barb at Herbstreit’s ability to toss a football.

"We had a luncheon and Herbstreit got up and threw a pass across the room, I knew we had a shot to win. Make sure he knows I said that."
The video of Muschamp gloating here is absolutely perfect too.

College football is the perfect sport and Muschamp will always be able to brag about that win. Unless Ohio State beats Georgia in the playoffs this season. Then Herbstreit will get to have a little fun.
