Standing in the press box at The Citadel’s Johnson Hagood Stadium about 90 minutes before kickoff last Saturday, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield had some advice.
“Keep an eye out for the ‘Hobnail,'” he said, smiling.
Anyone familiar with Georgia football lore would know what he meant. When Georgia beat Tennessee in 2001, quarterback David Greene faked a handoff and threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to fullback Verron Haynes in the closing seconds to beat the Volunteers.
Legendary Georgia announcer Larry Munson then made one of his most memorable calls: “We just stepped on their face with a hobnail boot and broke their nose!”
Georgia called the play “P-44 Haynes,” but when Satterfield decided to install it last week he gave it another name, “Hobnail.”
