Sports

Game-by-game look at the 2010 UGA football season.

Georgia 55, Louisiana-Lafayette 7: The Aaron Murray era at UGA began on a positive note. The redshirt freshman passed for three TDs and rushed for another in the big win.

South Carolina 17, Georgia 6: The Dogs dropped their SEC opener in Columbia, S.C. as Gamecocks freshman Marcus Lattimore rushed for 182 yards and his team's two touchdowns.

Georgia 24, Arkansas 31 - Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray was roughed up in Georgia's second SEC loss of the season. Murray was 15-27 with one touchdown, one interception and was sacked six times in the loss to visiting Arkansas Razorbacks.

Georgia 12, Mississippi State 24 - Mississippi State broke a nine-game losing streak in the series - dating back to 1974 - with win in Starskville. Georgia's only touchdown came with 1:27 remaining when Aaron Murray (274 yards, 1 TD) hit Taverres King with a 40-yard touchdown. Georgia outgained Mississippi State 387 yards to 314, but lost two first-half fumbles, including one by Washaun Ealey that was less than a yard from a touchdown.

Georgia 27, Colorado 29 - Not even the spectacular return of Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green (8) from a four-game suspension could halt the Bulldogs' fall. Green caught two touchdown passes among his seven receptions for 119 yards, but he didn't catch another pass after his 50-yard grab on the third snap after halftime. The Bulldogs fell to 1-4 for the first time since 1993.

Georgia 43, Vanderbilt 0 - Georgia took its second straight lopsided win after four straight losses behind freshman quarterback Aaron Murray, who completed 15 of 24 passes for a career-high 287 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. Georgia introduced its new mascot, Uga VIII, a 13-month-old white English bulldog, before the game.

Georgia 44, Kentucky 31 - Georgia tailback Washaun Ealey set a school record with five rushing touchdowns as surging Georgia pounded Kentucky. The Bulldogs forced the mistake-prone Wildcats into four turnovers - converting them into 17 points - to win their third straight. Ealey finished with a season-high 157 yards on 28 carries. Quarterback Aaron Murray was a pedestrian 9-of-12 for 113 yards and no touchdowns.

Georgia 31, Florida 34 (OT) - The first overtime game in the storied Florida-Georgia rivalry came down to a field goal. Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray threw for a career-high 313 yards and three TDs. Florida had one turnover, while Georgia finished with a season-high four that may have ultimately cost them the game. The win kept Gators in the hunt for the SEC's Eastern Division title and eliminated the Bulldogs from contention.

Georgia 55, Idaho State 7 - Georgia led only 6-0 before scoring 35 points in the second quarter - led by Aaron Murray's three touchdown passes - against the FCS Bengals. A.J. Green had six catches for 103 yards. The two touchdown catches brought Green's career total to 21 as he passed Fred Gibson for second place on the school records.

Georgia 31, Auburn 49 - Georgia hung tough behind A.J. Green's nine-catch, 164-yard performance, tying the game again at 28-all before Auburn went ahead for good on Onterio McCalebb's 4-yard touchdown run. Aaron Murray, who threw for 273 yards and three touchdowns, left the game after taking a blow to his left knee. Georgia now needs a win over rival Georgia Tech in regular-season finale in Athens to avoid their first losing season since 1996.

Georgia 42, Georgia Tech 34 - Aaron Murray threw for three touchdowns, Justin Houston returned a fumble 18 yards for a score and Georgia Tech missed a tying extra point, giving Georgia the win it needed to be eligible for a bowl. Georgia Tech, which ran a staggering 92 plays for 512 yards and controlled the ball for nearly 38 minutes. But too many mistakes doomed the Yellow Jackets, who also lost three fumbles.
