Notebook: QB Aaron Murray’s struggles coming mainly versus elite defenses
Aaron Murray says balance and footwork -- not nerves -- led to his poor first-half performance against Florida. (AJC photo by Bob Andres)
ATHENS — Aaron Murray is every bit the video junkie. But unlike normal, he dreaded getting up this past Sunday morning to head over to the football complex to review the tape of Georgia’s game against Florida.
Well, the first half at least.
“It was not good,” Murray said, but smiling and laughing as he did. “I tried not to go in but I had to get in here and watch the film. Definitely, there were some errors.”
Definitely.
The Bulldogs’ record-setting quarterback was breaking some personal records on infamy as he threw three interceptions in the opening two quarters against Florida. But Murray rebounded with a 45-yard touchdown pass in the second half and Georgia held on for decisive 17-9 win over the Gators.
Murray’s final line was not one of his better ones: 12-of-24 passing for 150 yards, 1 TD and 3 interceptions. But coming out with the victory helped salve any wounds Murray might have felt.
“It’s definitely one of the top ones for me, regardless of personal stats in the game,” said Murray, who hails from Tampa and was heavily recruited by the Gators. “All that doesn’t matter. I play to win games and that win was probably the biggest one I’ve ever been a part of since I’ve been here.”
While Murray contributed significantly to winning the game, his performance against the Gators continued a trend of struggle in big games against elite defenses. That’s certainly not unusual; the best defenses are going to make quarterback look worse – but a lot of Murray’s mistakes against Florida weren’t necessarily made under the duress pressure. They were simply bad reads or bad throws, neither of which Murray normally does much.
The first one Murray tried to force into triple coverage, the second was badly overthrown and the third was delivered late and off target over the middle. Here’s Murray’s explanations:
- Of the first interception, an attempt to tight end Jay Rome, Murray said: “I saw a window but it was a very, very tight window and the safety didn’t really back off at all. He pretty much sat on the route and I should have checked down to my fullback and gotten a nice little three- or four-yard completion.”
- Of the second one, an overthrow on an attempt to split end Marlon Brown over the middle, he said: “That was probably the worst throw I’ve ever made in my life. That was just me trying not to make a mistake on a pass and trying to throw it like a dart instead of throwing it like a football. “
- Of the third one, a hard over-the-middle throw for receiver Rantavious Wooten: “My feet just weren’t right and I was trying to throw it across the middle.”
Murray said his film study revealed it was mainly a matter of fundamentals. His tendency is to get off balance and neglect his footwork, which he is concentrating on improving in practice this week. But there is also evidence that Murray may be a little too pumped up and/or pressing in the Bulldogs’ most important games.
In his two games against Top 10 opponents South Carolina and Florida this season, Murray has completed 23 of 55 of passes (41.8 percent) for 259 yards and 1 touchdown with 4 interceptions. In his games against everybody else this season, Murray has completed 129 of 168 passes for 1,805 yards and 16 touchdowns with just 3 interceptions.
He has thrown 7 picks in three games against the Gators and had two interceptions in each of the Bulldogs’ final two games last season against LSU in the SEC Championship Game and Michigan State in the Outback Bowl. Both were Top 10 opponents.
“I don’t know,” quarterbacks coach Mike Bobo said. “The guy has performed so well over his career. The SEC Championship last year, he was on point in the first half and we didn’t help him out catching the ball. The bottom line is you’ve just got to relax and show you can play the way you’ve always played and be confident.”
Murray doesn’t believe he’s pressing more in big games, though he did say Bobo told him at halftime “to calm down and relax.”
“I’ve played in a lot of big games,” Murray said. “The locker room was all positive as far as my teammates and other coaches and I wasn’t stressed and freaking out. I just knew I had to clean things up. We were still up 7-6 at halftime so I knew I just needed to settle down a little bit and I’d be ready to go.A lot of my inaccuracy had to do with my feet not being on balance and that’s pretty much the reason. Come the second half, you could definitely see my footwork getting back to what it’s been during the entire season before and that’s when I started hitting more receivers.
The bottom line is Murray got the job done on Saturday, and his coaches and teammates have been unwavering in their support.
Asked if they’d considered making a quarterback change at any point in the game, coach Mark Richt snapped: “Aaron is the guy. Period.”
Jordan Jenkins’ stock is up
Richt confirmed on Wednesday that Jordan Jenkins has solidified his status as starter at “Sam,” or strongside, outside linebacker opposite of Jarvis Jones. Junior Chase Vasser is currently sidelined with a shoulder injury and senior Cornelius Washington has been playing primarily at a down lineman position since senior Abry Jones was lost for the season with an ankle injury.
Besides, Jenkins is playing lights out. The 6-foot-3, 257-pound athlete from Harris County has now started three games and, despite limited playing time early in the season, he’s second on the team in sacks (3), tackles for loss (6) and quarterback pressures (13).
“We’re going to play him as much as he can,” defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said. “He’s really come on and produced and really had a chance to have a sack the other night and he’s done some other good things. So we’ll continue to play him and try to get players that can make plays on the field.”
Having Jenkins opposite of Jones has proved particularly effective as teams are running away from the Bulldogs’ All-American only to find Jenkins at the ready. Occasionally, Grantham will pair them on the same side.
“Those two guys have got a pretty good pass rush, a pretty good twitch, get-off, and it allows them not to be able to say that they can totally go to this guy,” Grantham said. “If they do, it’s going to leave somebody else one-on-one. By doing that, though, a guy like Cornelius Washington went inside and that was really big for us. I thought Cornelius did good inside, so at times we had as many as three outside backers in there, maybe four every now and then.”
John Jenkins sidelined, Hall out
Starting nose guard John Jenkins was help out of practice Wednesday because of an ankle injury he suffered in practice on Tuesday. Richt indicated the 6-foot-3, 358-pound senior will be able to play against Ole Miss on Saturday.
“We think he’ll be fine but we didn’t want to put him out there today,” Richt said. “We think he’ll be ready.”
Richt said starting fullback Merritt Hall (ankle) did not practice and is likely out for Saturday’s game. He said junior Zander Ogletree, who played every fullback snap against the Gators, will start instead.
Etc. . . .
Cornerback Damian Swann was in a non-contact, green jersey but is not expected to miss any playing time this week. . . . Richt said Jamie Lindley handled all the kickoffs against Florida because Georgia wanted to attempt an onsides kick, Richt said. He won’t necessarily handle them against Ole Miss, however. “I don’t think Marshall (Morgan) is done with that,” Richt said. . . . Since it has been more than a month since the last home game, the Bulldogs expecting a big recruiting weekend. Among the unofficial visitors will be Grayson defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche, the younger brother of Ole Miss linebacker and leading tackler Denzel Nkemdiche.

JB will still be bitter and believe UGa should fire their coaches and bench their QB even if they ran the table and won a NC. He would come on this site and complain about how bad our recruiting is because we lost a 2-star water boy from Vidalia. I still sincerely believe (as do most positive thinking Dawgs) that the negative bloggers are either Techies or spoiled rotten punks who are not satisfied unless we are 14-0. Believe guys…..ya got to believe and quit tearing down the program. And to my buddy Joey, I agree with you that we don’t all need to think “alike”, but I do think ALL TRUE DAWG FANS NEED TO THINK POSITIVE and quit focusing on the negatives.

JB, we are entitled to our opinions, but I think Muschamp has done a great job and the Gators have a great team. Their offense is very good and getting better each game imo.
They are ranked 102 out of 124 teams in total offense. You have a strange definition of very good. Florida’s offense is one of the worst in the country.

The problem with layinlow is he is ignorant. First, unless you are brain dead you realize that there is not a QB on the roster who gave UGA a better chance to win than Murray. 2nd Murray is a Jr who is at the top of the SEC stats in most categories. 3rd, the problem with you is that your opinion is wrong because you arent nearly as smart as you think when it comes to what yo uare talking about. Stop spreading negativity around your 7-1 football program. Murray overcoming and dealing with his mentality is not an issue with Richt you hater. BTW Richt will NOT be going anywhere for years and he WILL win the NC at UGA. Not going to be this year unless the defense becomes ferocious because the OL is young. UGA has NOT had but ONE team that was worthy of being national champs and it didnt get the chamce Bama got last year OR Richt would have brought UGA a NC. NOBODY was going to beat UGA that year in a bowl game. NOBODY. Sugar Bowl champs shoulda been National Champs. But LSU got the nod even though EVERYBODY knew UGA would beat LSU on a neutral field. ANYWAY…..get off Richt. There is NO problem. UGA has NEVER been a powerhouse but since Richt has got there and ELEVATED UGA to a damn good eam most EVERY year….you cant handle the success you have and are being greedy to a fault, That you dont see where you came from the last 30 years to get here to this point. Do you not remember 30 years of 8-9 wins at best, maybe 10 with a bowl win. With a COUPLE of exceptions. Richt has brought UGA to a place NEVER before achieved in their history. BUT since he hasnt took a team that is NOT talented enough to win the NC, you hate on him for EVERYTHING you can? UGA IS on the VERGE of being an Oklahoma, Bama, Texas, USC, Notre Dame, Florida, Ohio State. LSU. Those are programs with tradition and legacy. UGA had a 3 year Herschel Walker legacy. They were ready to fire Dooley before Herschel stepped onto the field…Richt is FAR more successful than Dooley ever was EXCEPT for when Herschel played…Richt hasnt had a Herschel and is the BEST coach in UGA history. DOOLEY HIRED Richt…..He was the BEST thing Dooley done and he WILL win the NC….at LEAST ONE. Despite Saban and Miles. Bama should never lose a game honestly. EVER. GREATEST Legacy, recruiting and best coach now and maybe ever. Stacked deck. But they will and it might be this year and it might be to UGA….IF the defense get ferocious….Best coahc in UGA history is Richt. You know how hard it is to even recruit against these other schools? Especially Bama and LSU? Then throw in Tenn, SC, FL, then Clemson, FL ST, MIA. Richt made inroads against these schools. UGA didnt have much before Richt to attract kids out of state or keep them in unless you were a RB or just loved UGA having lived here. REMEMBER THIS UGA FANS…..UGA HAS NEVER BEEN A POWERHOUSE IN COLEGE FOOTBALL BUT YOU EXPECT THEM TO BE RIGHT THERE WITH BAMA AND LSU AND FLORIDA….YOU GOT TO WALK BEFORE YOU RUN AND IF NOT FOR RICHT, UGA WOULD STILL BE CRAWLING INSTEAD OF JOGGING. YOU KEEP WINNING LIKE UGA HAS UNDER RICHT AND YOU WILL BREAKTHROUGH AND THEN BECOME THAT POWERHOUSE OF CONSISTENCY. INSTEAD OF WINNING LIKE UGA IS NOW, ONCE EVERY 5 YEARS, MAYBE. UGA WENT 19 YEARS AFTER HERSCHEL LEFT WITHOUT WINNING JACK. NOT EVEN THE EAST ONE TIME. NOT ONE TIME. ONLY HAD VERY GOOD SEASONS TWICE IN THOSE 19 YEARS, MAYBE 3 IF YOU COUNT THE UNEXPECTED BOWL WIN OVER TEXAS IN 84 AND WE WILL. 3 YEARS OUT OF 19 YEARS. RICHT IS DOING THAT VIRTUALLY EVERY YEAR! AND OMG IF HE EVER HAS A COUPLE OF DOWN YEARS….FYI EVERY COACH DOES IF HE IS AROUND LONG ENOUGH. I AM SO TIRED OF YOU IGNORANT MARK RICH HATERS. YOU DONT KNOW WAHT YO UARE TALKING ABOUT AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. ITS GREAT TO WANT TO WIN IT ALL BUT ONLY 1 TEAM CAN AND THE TEAM WITH THE BEST COACH IN AMERICA IS ALABAMA, NOT UGA AND HE IS NOT COMING TO UGA TO COACH. SO ITS AN UPHILL BATTLE. EVERYBODY TALKING BOUT WHAT MUSCHAMP DONE IN A SHORT PERIOD…2 THINGS…..THEY WERE HIGHLY OVERRATED AND SECOND, FLORIDA HAS BEEN A POWERHOUSE SINCE THE EARLY 90′S…THEY GET GREAT RECRUITS BASED ON THAT ALONE. RICHT HAS TO BATTLE MORE STATES AND SCHOOLS FOR RECRUITS THAN ANY COACH IN THE NATION. THEY ARE SWARMING INTO GEORGIA TO STEAL GA PLAYERS. SEC, ACC, BIG TEN, PAC 10…ALL OF THEM. GIVE RICHT SOME CREDIT. HE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB ALL THIGNS CONSIDERED AND HE WILL WIN A NC. AND HE WILL WIN IT WITHOUT A HERSCHEL….

Damn Neutral, can you get your head out of the clouds for a second? How many games against top competition over the last five years have we been “blown” out against. It’s not so much that we lost, it’s how we lost. Since you pulled my chain this morning Altamaha, that’s where I get my opinion from.
I respect the fact Altamaha, that you’re the ultimate lieutenant, who’s going to support the boss in public even if you disagree with him. I’ve read enough of your posts over the last five years where you have questioned Richt, I think I know you well enough to also say you’re just always going to be the devils advocate. For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. I think the Dawgs played a hell of a game Saturday, would be dirt happy to see the same results in the future. Time will tell.

I’m just saying that if he studies as much as they say he does, why can’t he put them in the right play himself?
Don’t get me wrong, he’s a pretty good qb, he just nuts up against quality teams for some reason. Again, there’s no arguing that FACT.

AM is a good QB – but his or Bobo’s reluctance to let him leave the pocket is causing problems. He is “no threat” to run on the zone read for Gurley/Marshall, hence he hands off into a stacked box.
AM could have easily pulled the rock down, picked up 5-10 yards and moved the chains. This year, I guess to protect Hutson Mason’s redshirt, he has been shackled in the pocket.
I hate that we limit our ability to perform for a player who isn’t even on the field. Let Murray be the “dual threat”. Put that piece back in his toolbox and let the kid play.

MURRAY HAS NEVER PLAYED GOOD AGAINST A ALF DECENT DEFENCE. WITH THE TEAMS GA PLAY THEY ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD RECORD. FLA. GAVE THAT GAME TO THEM. WHEN A TEAM GIVES 6 TURNOVERS THE OTER TEAMS SHOULD SCORE ALOT OF POINTS. BUT GA ONLY COULD GET 17. THAT SHOWS YOU THERE THAT THEY ARENT THE TEAM ALL THE DOG FANS THINK THEY ARE.

Our Oline looked very good against a very good Dline. Zander did a great job at FB and will be watching him close this weekend, also hope Hicks gets a chance.

Did FL “give” the game to UGa or did we “take” it from them. I think we caused all of those turnovers by massive pressure and hard hits. If UGa had lost the game would you be focused on UGa’s 3 turnovers, dropped passes and 140+ yards in penalties……and boast that UGa gave the game away? Probably not.

Troll here. LOL.
if you think Murray is more nervous in big games, you are laughable. Most players may start a little nervous in any game, but most people would settle down after a few snaps.
The good teams don’t give Murray much window of opportunity: he is either hassled or receivers are tightly covered.
Murray isn’t good enough to throw in tight coverage situations (Bray is good enough).
I forgot what Richt said about 1-2-3-4. I guess is, (1)look left-(2)look right-(3)throw-(4)or throw away.
I believe coach Richt is correct with Murray. Just practice 1-2-3-4 and do it in the game. He will avoid some of his obvious problems if he can do it.

Glad to have Murray as he’s a capable, dependable smart player who isn’t great but gets the job done. You never have to worry about him getting stoned or drunk or even gun control. I do hope the next QB has more physical talent. Hudson may very well shine.
I think it’s a lock that AM returns for his senior year. Not much for him in the NFL. I suspect he will utilize his education and work ethic and become a very successful business man. Kudos to the young man, be happy if he marries your daughter.
The Zone Read
November 1st, 2012
11:06 am
AM is still very, mobile and athletic. He has got to pull it down and run it instead of forcing into tight windows – i.e (Wooten pick). The Rome pass was an easy pull down or FB check down. At any rate, Murray is athletic and needs to get back to making plays with feet. He can still slide or run it OB, if necessary. Watch some Aaron Rodgers film. He could have turned at least 8 of his 12 incomplete passes into runs for positive yards and/or first downs.

Like I said, I’ve seen him call Richt and crew out on occasions. Altamaha has the ability to keep emotion out of the conversation 98% of the time. Have a good day and let’s kick some Reb butt this weekend.

JB, I happen to agree with you and the Zone, but I do have a lot of respect for CMR and CMB on QB coaching. I just think that big games may require Murray to use his legs. Think about how many drives Shaw kept alive with his legs. A QB who takes off a few times a game affects the opposing DC’s decision making and it takes pressure off of our line and Murray. You end up with LBs standing around waiting for screens, draws, and QB runs. It really helps our team. If we were to win out and face Bama, I think Murray has to run some to even have a chance to win.
GTBob, it is subjective, and don’t forget UF has played some great Ds, too. They are learning Pease’s very complicated offense and gaining confidence in Driskell. But, if you just want to go with stats and computers, remember that the BCS computer had Florida ranked number one in the country!

I found myself watch games differently than most people. I pay more attention to techniques, or the right ways to do things. To be honest, I enjoy games less than most people do. Sometimes I simply turn the TV off even for a big game.
You know what? I found out a couple of years ago, Nick Saban does the same thing. It says when he watches games, he is all about the right ways or wrong ways to play.
Big relief considering I have something similar to Saban. Maybe one day I can be a big coach too. In my dream.

Trolls are fans of “other” teams who love to criticize your team. You say you are helping our team by slaming them but you neglect to talk about your own team.
