Will Muschamp takes hilarious shot at Kirk Herbstreit while looking back at 1993 Citrus Bowl

Getting ready to defend its national championship, Georgia has an unfamiliar opponent coming up next, Ohio State. The two traditional powers have only ever played once before, in the 1993 Citrus Bowl. Oddly enough, co-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp played in that game for the Bulldogs.

Will Muschamp was asked about that game and used that as an opportunity to take a shot at current ESPN analyst and former Buckeye, Kirk Herbstreit.

“It was a good win for the Dawgs,” Will Muschamp said.

“We had a pre-not game, but I guess a luncheon, and Herbstreit got up and threw a pass across the room, I knew we had a shot to win,” Will Muschamp laughed. “Make sure he knows I said that.”

Interestingly enough, that Citrus Bowl was largely dominated by the running game, so Herbstreit’s throwing ability wasn’t a huge factor in the game. A tie game going into the fourth, only Georgia found the endzone in the final quarter, giving the Dawgs a 21-14 win.

Will Muschamp played defensive back for Georgia between 1991 and 1994. During his senior season, he was even named team captain.

Expect more fireworks and higher stakes when these two meet for the Peach Bowl and a College Football Playoff semifinal game this season. With these two offenses, odds are that they’ll surpass 1993’s point total.

Will Muschamp discussed bowl prep

Ahead of that Peach Bowl matchup, Will Muschamp spoke extensively about what he has been doing to get ready for an explosive Ohio State offense.

” We had a really good practice, a week in Athens,” Will Muschamp said.

“I thought our guys worked extremely hard, came back yesterday, had another good practice. And we’re excited to get started again today. Appreciate the Peach Bowl and obviously the College Football Playoff and what they do for college football, and we’re excited to be here.”
