The University of Georgia played 4 quarters of football......the way the "Bulldog Nation" envisioned in August.
From the Knoxville News Sentinel:
ATHENS, Ga. – Mark Richt should sleep better tonight.
Georgia ended a four-game losing streak with a 41-14 pounding of error-prone Tennessee on Saturday at Sanford Stadium.
Aaron Murray, Georgia’s freshman quarterback ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more.
Georgia led 17-0 in the first quarter thanks to the first two of three Tennessee turnovers.
Tennessee heads into an open date at 2-4, 0-3 SEC. Georgia is 2-4, 1-3 SEC.
Georgia led 27-7 at the half, then the teams traded touchdowns coming out of halftime.
Murray’s 5-yard run made it 34-7, but the Vols answered with a 71-yard drive and a 2-yard Tauren Poole score to get within 34-14.
The Bulldogs answered right back with another long drive and a 1-yard TD by fullback Shaun Chapas.
Georgia was up 41-14 as the fourth quarter began.
Three Tennessee turnovers equaled 17 Georgia points and that was the story of the first half.
Eric Gordon fumbled on a kickoff return and later on a punt return and the Bulldogs capitalized with scores both times.
The Bulldogs also got an interception off a tipped pass and converted that to points.
Tennessee’s offense was pretty much a disaster with the lone bright spot of freshman Justin Hunter.
Hunter had catches of 28, 38 and 25 yards. His 38-yard TD pass from Matt Simms early in the second quarter was UT’s only score.
The Vols had not had a turnover since the Florida game but they came in hurry Saturday.
Both of Gordon’s fumbles were turned into touchdown passes by Murray. Murray also ran 35 yards for a touchdown on Georgia’s opening drive.
The Vols trailed 17-0 and had managed only one first down at one point late in the first quarter.
