Georgia redshirt junior quarterback Hutson Mason will make his first career start this Saturday when the Bulldogs visit Georgia Tech.The biggest question facing the 2014 Georgia Bulldogs just got asked a little earlier.
How will Georgia fare when quarterback Aaron Murray is gone?
Murray’s college career came to an undesired close when the 6-foot-1, 208-pounder tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in the second quarter of Saturday night’s 59-17 rout of Kentucky. Georgia announced Murray’s injury Sunday morning, adding that he would undergo surgery this week.
“I actually exchanged some texts with Aaron, and he’s basically just wanting to get back to work.” Georgia coach Mark Richt said Sunday afternoon. “He wants to get this thing done, and he’s not going to mope around and cry. He was heartbroken initially, but after he realized what the deal was as far as some surgery and what he needed to do to get back to playing again, I think he got geared up for that challenge.”
Richt said that there was no damage to his knee except the ACL, and he is confident Murray will get drafted.
