Aaron Murray

The end result was a brutal 1–4 start as Georgia dropped four consecutive games starting with a 17–6 road loss on September 4 with South Carolina and ending with an October 2 road trip to Colorado as their linebacker B.J. Beatty forced a fumble late in the fourth quarter that resulted in a Buffaloes' 29–27 victory.

However, the Tampa, Fla. native was resilient as Georgia reeled off five wins in their next six contests that included routs of Tennessee (41–14), Vanderbilt (43–0), and Kentucky (44–31) as Murray faced the Wildcats on the road. On October 9, Murray threw the ball with precision going 17-of-25 for 266 yards with two touchdowns and also ran very well with seven rushes for 41 yards and two more touchdowns against the Volunteers. On October 16, Murray exploited Vanderbilt's secondary by going 15-of-24 passing for 287 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed six times for 36 yards against the Commodores. At Lexington, Ky. on October 23, Murray was safe going 9-of-12 passing the ball for 113 yards as teammate Washaun Ealey ran 28 times for 157 yards and scored five touchdowns as Georgia built a 44–25 lead in the fourth quarter.
