I'm actually with UGA fans on this one. We have the 3-1 record vs Murray which is the important thing. But he played good his FS year considering the circumstance and played really well in 2011 but ultimately came up short (though he did have that big fumble at the end)

He did well vs us, but it was mainly UGA's defense and a dominating Lattimore that cost UGA under Murray.


I guess it depends on what "doing well against" means: doing well as in shutting that player down, doing well as in consistently beating that player regardless of what he does, or mixture of both. Murray really had 2 games that one could say he "did well" in against USC: he threw all 8 of his TD passes in those 2 games, and went 1-1 in them.

His freshman season he completed a high number of passes but they were more of the conservative, dump-off variety, and he contributed no points in the effort. Perhaps if Green was available for that game, things'd be different. Regardless of all that, it's hard to argue that USC did NOT "do well" against Murray in 2010, considering we beat him and UGA decisively. In 2012 we made him re-think his purpose in life on this good green Earth.

Even in his best efforts, he was only .500 against USC: going 3-1 overall IMO certainly qualifies as "doing well" consistently...

I just think the fact that in one game he totally eviscerated Carolina pretty much eliminates him from the discussion.

It's not like he had three bad games and then an OK one. He had 2 bad games (one as a freshman on a bad team without its best player), 1 ok/spotty game, and one dominant game.
