Georgia Halftime Notes Oct. 5, 2013*Murray Sets SEC Record: With a 24-yard strike to junior FLK Chris Conley on a 4th-and-4 situation in the second quarter, senior QB Aaron Murray captured the SEC record in passing yardage with 11,548. He finished 12-for-10 for 119 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. Former Bulldog David Greene held the school and SEC records at 11,528. The Bulldogs are now 6-for-8 on fourth down tries this year. Conley leads the team with three scores this year and has four catches for 47 yards through two quarters. Senior FLK Rantavious Wooten is leading the team with a career-high five catches for 36 yards and a touchdown.*Defense Flexing Its Muscle: The Tennessee offense scored just three points and managed 127 yards of total offense in the first half. This is the fewest points that have been scored in the first half on Georgia this season. It is the lowest point total after two periods since Georgia Tech had three last year in the Bulldogs’ 42-10 win.*Morgan Goes Deep Again: Sophomore PK Marshall Morgan connected on a career-long 56-yard field goal on Georgia’s first possession. This is the longest since Morgan drilled a 55 yarder last week in the win over #6 LSU. It is the longest FG for the Bulldogs since Blair Walsh kicked a 56 yarder versus Buffalo in 2011 and the longest on the road in school history. The previous best on the road was 54. Morgan’s field goal is the longest in Neyland Stadium history and the longest in the SEC this year.*Tackles: Junior ILB Ramik Wilson is leading the team with seven tackles. Junior ILB Amarlo Herrera has four stops through two periods. *Starters: Freshmen FS Quincy Mauger and DB Shaq Wiggins got their first career start. Mauger started for freshman FS Tray Matthews. Matthews started the first four games but injured his hamstring in practice this week. The Bulldogs have started five true freshmen on defense this year.*Injury Report: Sophomore TB Keith Marshall went down with a right knee injury late in the first quarter and is out for the game. He was starting his second career game and first this year. Marshall finished the game with five carries for 33 yards (6.6 avg.). Sophomore TB Todd Gurley did not play in the first half with an ankle injury sustained in last week’s game.*Captains: Conley, Murray, senior N Garrison Smith and senior SS Connor Norman were captains on Saturday.
