DEL.ICIO.USUGA-bound QB Murray suffers tough loss
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Quarterback Aaron Murray of Tampa, Fla., who has committed to Georgia, was intercepted with less than two minutes remaining in a 9-2 loss to rival Armwood.
The game between the two Florida powerhouses was televised by ESPNU. Six prospects ranked in the nation’s top 100 prospects by Rivals participated in the showdown, including Murray and tight Orson Charles for Plant.
Plant was on the 26-yard line in the fourth quarter when Murray’s pass attempt was deflected and intercepted, according to the St. Petersburg Times. Murray was targeting Charles on the play. He completed 17 of 36 passes for 120 yards.
“Aaron pumped to fake out the safety and I had the corner beat,” Charles said. “At the last second, Aaron’s arm got hit.
“We were all very disappointed. I was disappointed I couldn’t make a big play to help us win. We broke down the film [Sunday], and went over our mistakes. Hopefully we’ll get to see Armwood again in the playoffs.”
Charles, a member of the AJC’s The Super Southern 100 and nation’s No. 2 tight end by Rivals, is favoring Miami over Florida, Georgia and Florida State.

No worries Aaron. You’ll get a lot more protection from the offensive line at UGA. Don’t get gun shy and don’t get hurt.

We still love you — and tell Orson we’d still, very much, like him to be a DAWG too!

Hey buddy, its okay. It sounds like you choke in big-game scenarios, so you will fit in perfectly here at UGA. All you have to do now is let me spoon with you, and you are all set to be a great DAWG.
