Aaron Murray threw four touchdown passes, including a 25-yarder to Justin Scott-Wesley with 1:47 remaining, and the No. 9 Bulldogs rallied to beat No. 6 LSU 44-41 in a thrilling game between Southeastern Conference powerhouses Saturday.
The Bulldogs (3-1, 2-0 SEC) completed their opening-month run through a gauntlet of top teams with a victory that propelled them back into the thick of the national championship race.
''We've played some hard teams,'' Scott-Wesley said. ''It just shows we're a great team. We can handle anything anybody throws at us.''
Georgia was only the fourth team since the BCS began in 1998 to face three top 10 teams in the first four games of a season. The Bulldogs opened with a 38-35 non-conference loss to Clemson, but came back to beat South Carolina 41-30 and now the Tigers.
''We've grown up a lot this past month,'' Murray said. ''I think everyone in the nation knows what Georgia football is about now. We're a tough group of guys. We're fighters.''
About 10 minutes after the game, the team ran back on the field to celebrate with their fans along the famed hedges at Sanford Stadium. Coach Mark Richt gave his wife a big kiss and hug.
''I'm just honored to be a part of something like that,'' Richt said.
Now, the Bulldogs are well-positioned to make a run for their third straight SEC East title and trip to the conference championship game.
