Georgia Win Season Opener!
Aaron Murray looked like a veteran in his first career start.
Georgia fell behind early but then cruised to a 34-24 victory. Redshirt freshman Aaron Murray was marvelous even with a hurt A.J. Green (left game with injury in second quarter) completing 13 of 16 passes for 229 yards. Caleb King was excellent as usual with 126 yards and two touchdowns on 26 attempts.
Boise State started the game with a surprisingly dominant drive that was capped off with a seven yard touchdown pass. Then, on Georgia's first offensive play of the game, Caleb King was stripped and Boise had the ball again. Fortunately, the Georgia defense held strong and forced a field goal to make it 10-0. On the next drive, Aaron Murray led the Dawgs to a touchdown drive.
The second quarter was very defensive till the end. Georgia's running game started to pick up and Carlton Thomas scored with a minute and a half left. Then, Kellen Moore led the Broncos down the field using a two minute drill to score a touchdown with seconds remaining. The score at the half was 17-13 Boise State.
The second half is where Georgia took over scoring 24 straight to take a convincing 37-17 lead. Boise scored a meaningless touchdown at the end to make the score look respectable, 37-24 Georgia.
