Lexington, KY (Sports Network) - Aaron Murray set a school record in career touchdowns and amassed a personal-best in passing yards, as the 13th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs escaped Commonwealth Stadium with a 29-24 win over the Kentucky Wildcats.
Murray completed 30-of-38 throws for 427 yards and four touchdowns. The junior entered play one touchdown pass shy of Georgia's career record of 72 set by David Greene from 2001-04.
Tavarres King had 188 yards and two scores on nine receptions for the Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 SEC), who had been idle since losing 35-7 at South Carolina two weeks ago.
Saturday's win sets up a crucial SEC East showdown next week with first-place Florida. The Gators, who are 6-0 in SEC play, can secure a spot in the conference championship game with a victory. A win by the Bulldogs and they're in the driver's seat for the division crown.
