Description: TWO (2) 1982 Official College Football Sugar Bowl Full Tickets from the New Years Day Classic football game between Georgia Bulldogs and Pittsburgh Panthers. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Pittsburgh quarterback Dan Marino clinched the 1982 Sugar Bowl with a late-game, 33-yard touchdown pass to tight end John Brown. The Panthers (10-1) entered the game in an ornery mood. They topped the Associated Press poll for the last four weeks of the regular season. However, a 48-14 thrashing by Penn State in the last game of the season quelled their dreams of a national championship. Pittsburgh had a worthy opponent in Georgia (10-1), who was riding an eight-game winning streak. The Bulldogs had an outside shot at repeating as national champions thanks to sophomore running back Herschel Walker, who had banged out 1,807 yards during the regular season. Georgia took a 13-10 lead into the fourth quarter. Four plays after Pittsburgh recovered a fumble on the Bulldogs' 23, Marino and Brown hooked up for a six-yard touchdown. Georgia answered with an 80-yard touchdown drive and led 20-17 with 8:31 remaining. Still down three with 3:36 left, Pittsburgh started its final drive at its own 20. Thomas' clutch running and a key scramble by Marino helped carry the Panthers to the Georgia 33. Facing a fourth down and five in the final minute, Pittsburgh called a timeout to consider its options. Sherrill called for a play designed to gain the five yards necessary for a first down. However, when Pittsburgh's running backs kept Georgia's blitzing linebackers in check, Marino had ample time to pick out an open man downfield. Brown was that man, catching Marino's bomb in the middle of the endzone with just 35 seconds on the clock. The touchdown gave the Panthers a 24-20 win and a No. 4 ranking in the final AP poll. Georgia followed at No. 6. Marino, of course, went on to greater glory with the Miami Dolphins.
