#4 Georgia 3 (Final: 10-2-0, #10)

Matt Cavanaugh's passing and Tony Dorsett's running spurred No. 1 Pittsburgh to a 27-3 win over Georgia in the Bowl's return to New Year's Day. Cavanaugh, the game's "Most Outstanding" player, hit on 7-of-11 passing attempts in the first half for 185 yards and a touchdown as the Panthers rolled to a 21-0 bulge.

Scoring the first TD himself from the 6-yard line, Cavanaugh then teamed with Gordon Jones on a 59-yard scoring pass. Dorsett, who ran for a then-record 202 yards, including 137 on 15 second-half carries, slipped in from the 11 just before halftime.

Pitt's scoring chores were then turned over to Carson Long for a pair of field goals, while Georgia never did get its offense untracked, taking advantage of a Panther fumble for an Allan Leavitt 25-yard FG in the third for its only score.
