Origins
Dooley and Herschel Walker took the 1980 title, then Athens waited forty-one years — a drought that ended in 2021 and was immediately followed by another trophy, with a defense that treated offenses as a formality.

Success: 50% of yardage needed on 1st, 70% on 2nd, 100% on 3rd/4th. Explosive: 12+ yd rush / 16+ yd pass. National rank is shown only for 1st and 2nd down, where every team has 100+ plays; the later buckets average 18-43 and a rank there would be noise.
