Pouring On The Points: With the 55-7 win, Georgia (5-5) has now scored more than 30 points in five straight games for the first time in school history. The Bulldogs' 55-point outburst today included 35 in the second quarter. The 48-point margin of victory matches the biggest for Georgia during Mark Richt's 10 years as head coach. Earlier this season, Georgia also beat Louisiana 55-7.
Speaking Of The 35-Point Second Quarter: The Bulldogs scored 35 points in one quarter for the first time since 1988 against William & Mary (also in the 2nd quarter). Georgia won that contest 59-24. The Bulldogs' 41 points in the first half was the most since 49 against Northeast Louisiana in 1994 in a single half en route to a 70-6 win.
Two INTs To The House: Redshirt sophomore S Bacarri Rambo grabbed his second interception of the year and returned it 39 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. Rambo now has four INTs in his career. He also returned an INT for a touchdown at Tennessee last season. Late in the third quarter, senior CB Vance Cuff returned his first INT of his career 30 yards for a touchdown. These were the second and third INTs returned for a touchdowns for the Bulldogs this season after junior S Jakar Hamilton returned one for a score versus Louisiana earlier this year. This marks the first time Georgia has scored two touchdowns on INTs since Darryl Gamble snagged a pair and scored at LSU in 2008. Junior CB Brandon Boykin also recorded his second INT of the year and fifth of his career later that quarter today. His last pick came against Louisiana in the season opener. The Bulldogs have 12 INTs through 10 games in 2010 after recording 10 during the 2009 season.
Green Hauls In Two More TDs, His The Century Mark Again: Junior FLK A.J. Green had a pair of touchdown catches in the opening half. He is now No. 2 on the all-time UGA list with 21 TD catches in his career (Terrence Edwards, 30). Green caught a 3 yarder following Brandon Boykin's interception for his first score. He then grabbed a 46-yard TD catch later in the second period. Green finished with six catches for 103 yards. He now has six 100-yard games in his career.
Senior TE Bruce Figgins had a 6-yard touchdown catch late in the first quarter. This marks his first score for Figgins since he had a TD catch versus Oklahoma State in 2007 and second of his career.
Murray Ties Career High With Three TD Passes : Redshirt freshman QB Aaron Murray played two and a half quarters versus the Bengals and finished 19-of-27 for 228 yards. He also tied his career high with three touchdown passes for the fourth time in his career.
Walsh Ties Career Long: Junior PK Blair Walsh tied his career long with a 53-yard field goal at the 1:19 mark in the opening period. He also drilled a 53 yarder at Oklahoma State in 2009. Walsh is 8-for-12 from 50+ in his career. He also hit a 38-yard field goal early in the first quarter. Walsh finished with 12 points on the game, two shy of his career high. Walsh has now kicked at least one FG in 18 straight and in 32 games overall. He is 17-of-20 on the year and 52-of-65 in his career. In the second half, junior PK Brandon Bogotay successfully kicked the first point-after attempt of his career and then missed his first field goal attempt.
First Blocked Punt: Freshman SS Alec Ogletree blocked the Bulldogs' first punt of the season late in the first quarter. The punt ended up being a 21 yarder. This is the 19th blocked punt in the Mark Richt era. Bacarri Rambo blocked the last punt for Georgia against Texas A&M in the 2009 Independence Bowl.
Turnovers: The Bulldogs had a pair of interceptions that they turned into touchdowns. Rambo returned the first INT 39 yards for a touchdown. Boykin then snagged the game's second pick. On the next play, junior FLK A.J. Green caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from redshirt freshman QB Aaron Murray. Georgia has forced 18 turnovers and converted them into 66 points while its opponents have scored 21 points off 12 Bulldog miscues on the year.
