Aaron Murray threw three touchdown passes and Georgia edged rival Georgia Tech 42-34 at Athens, Ga., Saturday night.
The Bulldogs (6-6) earned a bowl berth with the win and they got a little help on the way.
Georgia led 35-21 in the fourth quarter but the Yellow Jackets
responded with a pair of touchdowns. Anthony Allen scored on an 8-yard
run with 4:15 to play which could have tied the game, but Scott Blair
missed the extra point and Georgia maintained its 35-34 lead.
Georgia, which has won nine of the last 10 in the series, never trailed
in the game but the Bulldogs couldn’t put the Yellow Jackets away
either.
Georgia led 14-0 after the first quarter as Aaron Murray tossed a
66-yard touchdown pass to Kris Durham and a 32-yarder to Orson Charles.
Georgia Tech tied it with touchdown runs by Tevin Washington and Roddy
Jones in the second quarter. But Murray connected with Bruce Figgins on
a 3-yard score to give the Bulldogs a 21-14 lead at the half.
After the Yellow Jackets tied the game at 21-21 on an 18-yard run by
Embry Peeples, Georgia regained the lead on 1-yard run by Washaun Ealey.
Ealey scored again on a 20-yard with 1:35 left for the final score. The
Yellow Jackets (6-6) actually let Early score the touchdown so they
could get the ball back, but Washington, making his third start after
Josh Nesbitt broke his arm, was intercepted with under a minute left.
