Georgia is coming off a 30-6 road victory over Vanderbilt in the first game of the season. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter and were never threatened by their SEC East foe.

What Kirby Smart, Georgia football players said about Georgia football-Murray State

Kirby Smart on Murray State: They’re an air-raid type, they throw the ball around, you know Mitch (head coach Mitch Stewart) has a history with Coach (Chris) Hatcher, they spread the ball around, throw a lot of screens, intermediate passes, get the ball out quick. They run the ball really well for what you think they would do. Everyone thinks they throw the ball every snap, but they’ve got large splits making it tough to play the gaps. They make you defend the entire field. They do a really good job defensively, too. They really dominated last Saturday.”

Kirby Smart on playing back-ups against Murray State:  I think Murray State’s got a great program. They’ve got a lot of tempo; they do a great job offensively and defensively. We’re going in thinking we’ve got to beat Murray State. We’ve got to go in and execute and get better during the week on us, and then go out and play Murray State. You hope a lot of guys get to play, but we don’t know the outcome of a game.

Defensive lineman Jordan Davis on Murray State: Murray State has an extremely respectable game, they are very explosive, scoring 40 or more points in five out of nine games. They have an explosive offense, both running and passing, that we are going to need to stop. They have a very athletic team. I was watching some highlight clips and their running back is extremely explosive. And, not to discredit our offense, but their defense is also explosive, so we just need to play all-around a good game. Continue to think about us and what we know how to do, and we should be fine.”
