Coach Dooley, Rex Robinson and Scott Woerner were all very instrumental in the making of “1980 Dawgs.” The documentary was released last year and has received great reviews from the Bulldog Nation. It’s an incredible collection of stories told by 27 players, coaches and others affiliated with that special team. Those stories are combined with exclusive game footage clips and radio calls by legendary announcer, Larry Munson. If you thought you knew all about that season, you’ll be surprised. Many of these stories have never been heard before.
