Central Michigan defensive back Vince Agnew has become the modern day Bill Bates.

It started out innocently enough. The sophomore seemed to have a good position to take down UGA's Knowshon Moreno during his third quarter run on Saturday at Sanford Stadium. But Moreno gave him the hip, Agnew bit and WOOSH!

Oh...my...God!

It happened so quickly even ESPN missed it.

From that moment on, the final score of the bludgeoning of Central Michigan was irrelevant. The leap or The Hurdle was the story of the day.

Moreno, who understates and shrugs off everything, said The Hurdle was nothing special. Yeah. Right. Keep in mind, Moreno is the most modest running back you will ever talk to.

Most interviews with Moreno on media day go something like this:

"So, Knowshon, talk about that 52 yard run and the touchdown."

"Great downfield blocking and the offensive line really did their job."

"Okay, how about the 75 screen pass where you spun six times and ran past six players for your third touchdown of the game?"

"The offensive line did its job. Had it not been for them, the play would have gone nowhere."

Alrighty...one final thing. You were seen in Kroger on Sunday buying Yogurt. Is that a major staple of your diet?"

"I could have never made it to the dairy case if it wasn't for the blocking and my teammates..."

I think you get the picture about the talented lad from New Jersey.

If this would have happened in the 60's or before, The Hurdle by Moreno at the end of his 29 yard run in the third quarter would have taken a life of its own. Dawgs fans that day in attendance would have become novice Larry Munsons. "Bob, I swear, he jumped 200 feet in the air, did a pirouette and landed like a ballerina on the head of the defender. The fans were so stoked the stadium started to crumble!"

But since we are in the too-much information age, we can view The Hurdle again and again and again.

Now on Saturdays at Sanford Stadium, during the Battle Hymn of the Georgia Bulldog Nation, there will be two landmark plays to watch on the video board. Herschel Walker running over Bill Bates invokes the cry of "BOOM" from the Sanford Stadium crowd. Knowshon Moreno leaping Vince Agnew will invoke much the same response. Count on it.
