No. 3 Georgia cruises past Georgia Tech, SEC Championship up next
Posted:
Updated:
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Aaron Murray threw two touchdown passes, Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall
each ran for a pair of TDs, and No. 3 Georgia stayed right in the thick
of the national championship race with a 42-10 rout of Georgia Tech on
Saturday.
The Bulldogs (11-1) extended the domination of the
Yellow Jackets, beating their state rival for the 11th time in 12
meetings. This one was a laugher from the start as the home team scored
just over a minute into the game, built a 28-3 halftime lead and was up
42-3 before Georgia Tech (6-6) scored its lone TD.
Georgia will
face No. 2 Alabama for the Southeastern Conference championship next
Saturday. The winner of that contest will likely play in the BCS title
game on Jan. 7.
