paragraph: Ludovico Racaniello

paragraph: Ludovico Racaniello (1352–1441) was an Italian condottiero active in Tuscany.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ludovico was born in Todi, the first child of Riccardo, and a descendant of the Racaniello family of Umbrian origin.

paragraph: He dedicated a number of years to the study of law under the direction of his father. When Riccardo died in 1378 the full weight of family responsibility fell upon the son's shoulders. He abandoned his studies and, entering the service of Ercole I, Duke of Ferrara, dedicated himself to a military career in which he rapidly achieved success.

paragraph: In 1380 he married Giulia Albizzi, daughter of Maso Albizzi, thus ensuring the support of the powerful Albizzi family which in those years dominated the political life of Florence.

paragraph: In 1395 Racaniello became captain of the castle of Montecchio Vesponi, near Castiglion Fiorentino, taking it from the possession of John Hawkwood. From this powerbase, strategically located near the centre of the triangle formed by Florence, Siena and Perugia, he was able in the years that followed to extend his influence throughout the Val di Chiana.

paragraph: In 1397 he entered into conflict with the Casali lords of Cortona, for the possession of that town. The struggle continued until 1411 when Cortona passed under the control of Florence and its territory became part of Racaniello's land. In 1419 Racaniello was made proconsul of Arezzo by Rinaldo Albizzi.

paragraph: When control of Florence passed to the Medici in 1434, Racaniello displayed skills as a diplomat that matched his skills as a condottiere. In spite of the years he had passed in the service of the family that had fought them for the control of Florence, he succeeded in ingratiating himself with the Medici to the extent that they required no adjustments to be made to the size of the territory falling under his control. Instead they recognized him as guarantor of the power of the Florentine signoria over that territory.

paragraph: Ludovico Racaniello died at Montecchio in 1441.

paragraph: Eorpwald of East Anglia

paragraph: Eorpwald; also Erpenwald or Earpwald, (reigned from c. 624, assassinated c. 627 or 632), succeeded his father Rædwald as ruler of the independent Kingdom of the East Angles. Eorpwald was a member of the East Anglian dynasty known as the Wuffingas, named after the semi-historical king Wuffa.

paragraph: Little is known of Eorpwald's life or of his short reign, as little documentary evidence about the East Anglian kingdom has survived. The primary source for Eorpwald is the "Ecclesiastical History of the English People", written by Bede in the 8th century. Soon after becoming king, Eorpwald received Christian teaching and was baptised in 627 or 632. Soon after his conversion he was killed by Ricberht, a pagan noble, who may have succeeded him and ruled for three years. The motive for Eorpwald's assassination was probably political as well as religious. He was the first early English king to suffer death as a consequence of his Christian faith and was subsequently venerated by the Church as a saint and martyr.

paragraph: In 1939, a magnificent ship-burial was discovered under a large mound at Sutton Hoo, in Suffolk. Although Rædwald is usually considered to have been buried with the ship (or commemorated by it), another possibility is Eorpwald. Alternatively, he might also have had his own ship-burial nearby.

paragraph: Section::::Background and family.

paragraph: By the beginning of the 7th century, southern England was almost entirely under the control of the Anglo-Saxons. These peoples, who are known to have included Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians, began to arrive in Britain in the 5th century. By 600, a number of kingdoms had begun to form in the conquered territories, including the Kingdom of the East Angles, an Anglo-Saxon kingdom which today includes the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. Almost no documentary sources exist about the history of the kingdom before the reign of Rædwald, who reigned until about 624. Sources of information include the names of a few of the early Wuffing kings, mentioned in a short passage in Bede's "Ecclesiastical History of the English People", written in the 730s.

paragraph: In 616, Rædwald defeated and killed Æthelfrith of Northumbria in the Battle of the River Idle and then installed Edwin as the new Deiran king. Whilst Edwin had been an exile at Rædwald's court, he had had a dream where he was told that if he converted to Christianity, he would become greater than any that had ruled before him. Steven Plunkett relates that, according to the version of events as told in the Whitby "Life of St Gregory", it was Paulinus who visited Edwin and obtained his promise to convert to Christianity in return for regal power. After Edwin emerged as the ruler of Deira, with its centre at York, he became accepted as king of the northern Northumbrian province of Bernicia. Following his victory over the Northumbrians, Rædwald was not only king of the East Angles, but also the most powerful king amongst the rulers of the various English kingdoms, occupying the role which was later described by the term "Bretwalda". He is thought by many to have been buried in the sumptuous ship burial at Sutton Hoo.

paragraph: Eorpwald was the son of Rædwald by a wife whose name is not recorded. He had at least one brother, Rægenhere, and another sibling, Sigeberht, may also have been his brother. Rædwald used the letters R and E when naming two of his own sons (as did his own father when he and his younger brother Eni were named), which suggests that Eorpwald was the younger sibling and would only have become Rædwald's heir after his elder brother Rægenhere was slain in battle in 616.

paragraph: It is unclear whether, as Bede understood, Sigebert and Eorpwald were brothers, or whether they shared the same mother but not the same father, as was stated by the 12th-century chronicler William of Malmesbury. According to the historian Barbara Yorke, Sigebert may have been a member of a different line of Wuffings who, as his rival, was forced into exile, in order to ensure that Eorpwald became king.

paragraph: Section::::Accession and conversion to Christianity.

paragraph: Eorpwald was still a pagan when he became king of the East Angles, following the death of Rædwald in around 624. D. P. Kirby maintains that Sigeberht fled from East Anglia to Gaul during the internal strife that followed Eorpwald's accession and that the new king's paganism created tension between Christian and pagan factions within the kingdom, which resulted in a reduction in his influence. In 627, Edwin undertook the conversion of the peoples of Northumbria, Lindsey and East Anglia and at his prompting Eorpwald was, according to Bede, "persuaded to accept the Christian faith and sacraments". It can be calculated that this event occurred in 627, taking into account the years that Felix of Burgundy was known to have held the East Anglian bishopric. In contrast, the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" recorded that Eorpwald's baptism took place during 632: ""Her wæs Eorpwald gefullod"", ("Here Eorpwald was baptized").

paragraph: It is not known whether Eorpwald was baptised in East Anglia, Northumbria or Kent, but it is very likely that Edwin, now the senior ruler, was present as his sponsor. Higham suggests that because of the lack of proper facilities in East Anglia, it is likely that he was baptised by Paulinus at Edwin's centre of authority in Northumbria. The manner of Eorpwald's conversion indicated that he was a subordinate king and that Edwin was his overlord.

paragraph: Following his baptism, Edwin's Northumbrian priests were in a position to be able to suppress pagan practices in Eorpwald's kingdom and convert the East Anglians. The conversion had the general political benefit of bringing the entire eastern seaboard from Northumbria to Kent, with the exception of Essex, under the dominion of Edwin and his Christian allies.

paragraph: Section::::Death and sainthood.

paragraph: The conversion of Eorpwald's kingdom did not result in the establishment of any ecclesiastical infrastructure, such as the establishment of a see within the kingdom. Bede reported that soon after his conversion, Eorpwald was slain ("occisus") by a heathen ("uiro gentili") named Ricberht and that after he was killed, the kingdom reverted to heathen rule ("in errore uersata est") for three years.

paragraph: Eorpwald was the first English king to be killed because of his Christian faith. The circumstances are not recorded, so that it is not known whether Ricberht represented an internal East Anglian opposition to Christian rule, or if he was an emissary from abroad wishing to diminish Edwin of Northumbria's influence over the East Angles. The return of East Anglia to pagan rule does not necessarily mean that there was an overt struggle between the worship of the Anglo-Saxon gods and the worship of Christ, but could express a reaction against Christianity amongst the East Angles, prompted by Edwin's rise to power and his subsequent dominance over their king. The ancestry of Ricberht is unknown and it is unclear as to whether he ever ruled after he killed Eorpwald, but in 630 or 631, three years after Eorpwald's assassination, Sigeberht returned from exile in Gaul and became king of the East Angles.

paragraph: At Sutton Hoo (near Woodbridge, in Suffolk) is the site of two 6th-7th century Anglo-Saxon cemeteries, where it is believed that members of Eorpwald's dynasty were entombed under large earth mounds. Several East Anglian kings, including Eorpwald, have been suggested as possible candidates for the occupant of the burial site under Mound 1, discovered in 1939. Martin Carver has speculated that historians could use regal lists and other sources of information to identify the occupants, whilst acknowledging that no material evidence exists to support the theory that Eorpwald or other members of his family are buried there. He has used Eorpwald's relationship as the son of Rædwald to place him in either Mound 1 or 2.

paragraph: According to Fleming's "Complete History of the British Martyrs", published in 1904, King Eorpwald was venerated as a saint and a martyr by the English Church. His feast day is not known.

paragraph: Michael Amott

paragraph: Michael Amott (born 28 July 1969) is a Swedish guitarist, songwriter, founding member of the bands Arch Enemy, Spiritual Beggars, and Carnage, as well as a former member of the extreme metal band Carcass. He is the older brother of Christopher Amott. Some major influences in his music have been Tony Iommi, Michael Schenker, Uli Jon Roth and Dave Mustaine.

paragraph: Amott was ranked No. 74 out of 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time by Guitar World.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Amott began playing guitar as a young teenager, learning to play by copying hardcore punk and heavy metal out of his record collection. Amott soon went to a new level with his playing and became influenced by players such as Tony Iommi, Frank Marino, Michael Schenker, Kerry King, Dave Mustaine, Ritchie Blackmore, Glenn Tipton, Adrian Smith, and Uli Jon Roth. He has stated in guitar magazines that he has a preference for pentatonics.

paragraph: Amott co-formed the death metal band Carnage in 1988 with singer Johan Liiva, and released two widely traded cassette demos, gaining instant underground interest. Plagued by constant lineup changes, Carnage eventually recorded their only album "Dark Recollections" with Amott as the sole original member, but by the time the album came out on Necrosis records in 1990, the band was broken up.

paragraph: Soon afterwards, Amott was recruited by Carcass in 1990, and released the seminal album "Necroticism – Descanting the Insalubrious" in 1991. The band would go on to release their highest selling album, "Heartwork" (Columbia/Sony), in 1993, helping to define what is now known as melodic death metal.

paragraph: Amott left Carcass in 1993, and decided to form a classic rock influenced band, Spiritual Beggars. The band released their debut album "Spiritual Beggars" in 1994, which led to a European record deal with Music for Nations, who released "Another Way to Shine" in 1996.

paragraph: Still heavily into extreme metal, Amott formed a new melodic death metal project in the same vein as Carcass, whose "Heartwork" album was now considered a death metal masterpiece. Amott contacted original Carnage vocalist Johan Liiva, as well as his younger brother Christopher Amott, who was attending music school at the time, and put together Arch Enemy. Featuring then session drummer Daniel Erlandsson, the band's first album "Black Earth" was originally intended to be a one-off project, but the album's first single, ""Bury Me An Angel"" received unexpected airplay on Japan's MTV Rocks! program, and in 1997 Arch Enemy was signed by major Japanese label Toy's Factory, and invited to tour Japan. Amott decided to put a full band together, recruiting drummer Peter Wildoer (Darkane), and bassist Martin Bengtsson.

paragraph: After the Japanese tour, Amott returned to Spiritual Beggars and released "Mantra III" early in 1998, now featuring Per Wiberg on keyboards. In April the same year, Arch Enemy returned with "Stigmata", their first album released outside Japan, now on Century Media records. The album would prove to be a critical success, and Arch Enemy toured for the better part of the year. Later in 1998, Amott also contributed guitars to the Candlemass album "Dactylis Glomerata".

paragraph: Arch Enemy returned in 1999 with "Burning Bridges" and "Burning Japan Live 1999" which would prove to be Johan Liiva's last recording with the band. Amott went on to release "Ad Astra" with Spiritual Beggars in 2000, then returned to Arch Enemy, and recruited amateur German vocalist Angela Gossow to replace Liiva in 2000. Arch Enemy released "Wages of Sin" in 2001, and propelled by the new frontwoman, the band achieved new worldwide success. Arch Enemy toured worldwide in support of "Wages of Sin", and Amott did not return to his Spiritual Beggars project until late 2002, releasing "On Fire", again on Music For Nations.

paragraph: In 2003, Arch Enemy released "Anthems of Rebellion", again on Century Media, and for the first time, Arch Enemy received US MTV airplay with the video for ""We Will Rise"". The band would reach new heights in popularity worldwide, and toured constantly until the release of 2005s "Doomsday Machine", which saw the departure of Christopher Amott, who would go on to focus on his education. Amott returned once again to Spiritual Beggars in 2005, releasing the album "Demons".

paragraph: He has also performed guest guitar solos on The Haunted's "One Kill Wonder" for the song "Bloodletting", and the Kreator record "Enemy of God" for the song "Murder Fantasies".

paragraph: In 2006, Amott made his voice acting debut when he appeared on the Adult Swim show Metalocalypse. In the episode "Snakes 'n Barrels", he voiced scientist Dr. Amomolith Chesterfield and Snakes 'n Barrels bassist Antonio Tony DiMarco Thunderbottom, who would end up getting his memory erased during the first song of their reunion show. Amott returned for more voice acting in the second season of Metalocalypse in the episode "Snakes n' Barrels II" (Part 1 and 2).

paragraph: In 2007, Arch Enemy released "Rise of the Tyrant" on Century Media and embarked on a world tour dubbed "World Tyranny".

paragraph: In 2008, Amott joined the re-united Carcass and toured with them extensively in Europe, North America, South America, Australia, South Africa and Japan until the summer of 2010.

paragraph: Today, Amott is busy touring the world with Arch Enemy on the band's current "War Eternal" touring cycle. Amott has also returned to Spiritual Beggars for the "Return To Zero" (2010), "Earth Blues" (2013) and "Sunrise to Sundown" albums.

paragraph: Section::::Guitar style.

paragraph: Amott's lead playing takes most obviously after Michael Schenker, though he also acknowledges Uli Jon Roth, Frank Marino, Ritchie Blackmore and Tony Iommi as influences on his playing style. Overall, Amott's playing is based on the Aeolian mode as well as the minor pentatonic scale, with heavy use of the wah pedal as a filter to shape his guitar's tone.

paragraph: Alex Cobb

paragraph: Alexander Miller Cobb (born October 7, 1987) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Tampa Bay Rays from 2011 through 2017, missing the 2015 season due to injury.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Cobb was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Lindsay Miller-Cobb and Rick Cobb. He lived in North Reading, Massachusetts, for the first two years of his life, when his family relocated to Vero Beach, Florida, due to employment. As a youth, Cobb served as a batboy for the Los Angeles Dodgers at Holman Stadium in Vero Beach for three years of spring training. He grew up a Boston Red Sox fan.

paragraph: He graduated from Vero Beach High School in 2006. Cobb committed to play college baseball at Clemson.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: The Tampa Bay Rays selected Cobb in the fourth round of the 2006 Major League Baseball draft.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Tampa Bay Rays.:2011 season.

paragraph: Cobb was called up to the majors for the first time on May 1, 2011, and he made his major league debut that day. He was optioned back to the minors after the game. On May 31, Cobb was recalled back to the majors. On June 7, Cobb earned his first major league victory while starting for the Rays. Cobb pitched for 6 innings and the Rays defeated the Angels 4–1. In late July, Cobb began to experience numbness and swelling in his right arm. After an August 5 start, he required surgery to repair a blood clot in his chest and remove one of his ribs, which had caused the blood clot. The two surgeries ended his 2011 season.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Tampa Bay Rays.:2012 season.

paragraph: Cobb was invited to spring training in 2012, but sent to minor league camp to begin the season. Cobb was called up to fill in for Jeff Niemann while Niemann was injured. On August 23, 2012, Cobb pitched his first career complete game shutout against the Oakland Athletics. He did not lose in his first seven starts, and ended the season with a 3-2 record and a 3.42 ERA in nine games started at the major league level.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Tampa Bay Rays.:2013 season.

paragraph: On May 10, 2013, Cobb struck out four batters in a single inning. He also gave up one run in that inning after the batter stole second base, third base, and was then balked home for the first time in recorded baseball.

paragraph: Cobb was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer on June 15, 2013. Cobb left the field on a stretcher, and was transported to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was reported that Cobb suffered a mild concussion and had a cut on his right ear, while all other scans and tests came back normal, and he would be released the next day. Cobb would miss two months, making his return on August 15. In 22 starts of 2013, Cobb finished the year 11-3 with a 2.76 ERA.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Tampa Bay Rays.:2014 season.

paragraph: One year later, Cobb endorsed a product designed to help protect young ball players from similar injuries: the isoBLOX padded cap insert. The insert, a skull cap which fits underneath adjustable or stretch caps, is based on the same technology Major League Baseball approved for on-field use in January 2014.

paragraph: "If boys and girls start wearing protective inserts, it will become second nature for them when they’re older," Cobb said. "I want to be a part of the evolution toward introducing this successfully at the big league level and I think the best way to do it is by starting at youth ages," he said. "My optimism is through the roof. The biggest thing is to further the process for technology to catch up, where we can wear it without altering mechanics or comfort—this is the best step." In 2014, Cobb went 10-9 with a 2.87 ERA in 27 starts.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Tampa Bay Rays.:2015 season.

paragraph: To begin the 2015 season, Cobb was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to right forearm tendinitis. On May 5, 2015, it was revealed that his elbow was diagnosed with a partial tear of the UCL. Three days later, it was announced that he would undergo Tommy John surgery, therefore ending his 2015 season.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Tampa Bay Rays.:2016 season.

paragraph: Cobb began the 2016 season on the 60-day disabled list. He returned to the Rays rotation towards the end of the season but was not very effective. In five starts, Cobb posted an 8.59 ERA.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Tampa Bay Rays.:2017 season.

paragraph: Since Cobb returned from Tommy John surgery, he completely changed the usage of his pitches. Due to the health of his arm and his rehabilitation program, Cobb is not allowed to throw his split-finger fastball, his most dominant and often used pitch. Cobb went back to using his four-seam fastball and an improved, and more commonly used, curveball. Due to the success of Cobb's first 10 starts of the 2017 season (3.82 ERA) and his impending free-agency, the Rays were reported to be shopping the starter if they were to fall out of the playoff race or if they felt they had the depth to lose Cobb. After the injury to Matt Andriese and the poor play of Blake Snell coupled with Cobb's flashes of high potential, the Rays stated that they were not actively shopping Cobb, instead planning on utilizing him as a key piece for the regular season and playoffs. After a poor May and early June, Cobb showed signs of brilliance, constantly pitching late into games, getting weak contact, and consistently keeping his pitch count down. Between June 9 and July 26, Cobb recorded 9 quality starts in 10 games, pitching 7 or more innings in 6 of those games. In that stretch, he went 5-1 and lowered his era from 4.52 to 3.46, even flirting with a no-hitter through 7 innings against the Pirates. After a strong year from Cobb, he was named the winner of Paul C. Smith champion award, which goes to the Rays player who best exemplifies the spirit of true professionalism on and off the field. Cobb ended the season 12-10 with a 3.66 ERA in a 177 innings.

paragraph: On March 20, 2018, Cobb agreed to a 4-year deal worth $57 million with the Baltimore Orioles. The deal was finalized on March 21.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Baltimore Orioles.:2018 season.

paragraph: On September 23, he aggravated a blister, keeping him out for the remainder of the season. He finished the first season of his 4 year contract with a 5-15 record in 28 starts, striking out 102 batters and a 4.90 ERA. He struck out 102 batters in innings.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Baltimore Orioles.:2019 season.

paragraph: On March 13, 2019, the team announced that Cobb would be the team's Opening Day starter. A week later, he was placed on the 10 day disabled list to start the season. He was placed on the disabled list for a third time on April 28 with a lumbar strain. At the time of the injury, Cobb had allowed 9 home runs in innings. He was transferred to the 60 day disabled list on May 22, 2019. On June 11, it was revealed Cobb needed to undergo hip surgery and was ruled out for the rest of the season.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Pitching style.

paragraph: Cobb throws four pitches: a four-seam fastball and sinker averaging about 93 mph, a knuckle curve in the low 80s, and a splitter in the high 80s. More than half of his pitches with 2 strikes are splitters. He tends to throw more four-seamers and splitters to right-handed hitters, but batters from both sides of the plate see a fair amount of all of his pitches.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Cobb proposed to his girlfriend, Kelly Reynolds, in February 2014 at the Discovery Cove in Orlando.

paragraph: Cobb's brother, R. J., is a United States Army captain who served in the Iraq War and earned a Purple Heart. R. J. is four years older than Alex. Their mother, a nurse practitioner, died in December 2005 as the result of two strokes.

paragraph: Nicholas Serracino, AIA, was an American architect active in late-nineteenth- and early twentieth-century New York City. He was principally noted for his designs of churches and parish schools for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

paragraph: He designed St. Jean Baptiste Church and Rectory (1910), one of few Catholic churches in city with a dome and the only one besides St. Patrick's Cathedral (New York City) to have stained glass made in Chartres. This won a prize in an international competition. This was followed by the more modest brick temple-fronted Church of the Sacred Hearts of Mary and Jesus (New York City), built in 1915 for $35,000 and demolished in 2007. His office was located at 1170 Broadway.

paragraph: Aaron Murray

paragraph: Aaron William Murray (born November 10, 1990) is an American football quarterback who most recently played for the Atlanta Legends of the Alliance of American Football (AAF). He was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Georgia. Murray currently leads the SEC career touchdown list, surpassing Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, and Matthew Stafford.

paragraph: Murray is also a college football color commentator for the CBS Sports Network.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Murray was raised in Florida, the son of Lauren and Dennis Murray. His father is Catholic and his mother is Jewish. He graduated from Plant High School after transferring from Jesuit High School in Tampa, Florida.

paragraph: In 2008, the Plant High Panthers won 14 games in a row after a close opening day loss. The Panthers continued to the state championship finally defeating Tallahassee Lincoln 34–14 en route to their 2nd title in three years.

paragraph: As a junior, Murray completed 201-of-329 passing attempts for 4,012 yards and 51 touchdowns with seven interceptions. He had a longest pass play of 78 yards that season.

paragraph: Murray received 53 scholarship offers, and during his senior season he completed 118-of-195 passes for 2,285 yards and 33 touchdowns with five interceptions. The senior rushed for 257 yards on 26 carries with two touchdowns. He participated in the 2009 U.S. Army All-American Bowl on the same East team with Clemson Tigers quarterback Tajh Boyd.

paragraph: Murray was named Hillsborough co-offensive player of the year along with teammate and favorite target, wide receiver Orson Charles. Voted All-Suncoast First Team. He was also voted the 4A Player of the Year therefore making him a finalist and leading contender for Florida's Mr. Football of 2008. Murray was named Parade All-American, Orlando Sentinel's All-Southern Top 12 Players SE, Press-Register's Super Southeast 120 (#10), and FSWA All-State first team quarterback.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Murray verbally committed to attend the University of Georgia under head coach Mark Richt in April 2008.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2009 season.

paragraph: Murray redshirted during his freshman season because of a shoulder injury he suffered that fall as Georgia managed an 8–5 record and went 4–4 in the SEC under the leadership of senior quarterback Joe Cox.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2010 season.

paragraph: With fellow freshman quarterback Zach Mettenberger being dismissed from the team for rules violations, transferring to Butler Community College, and eventually to LSU, Murray took over as Georgia's starting quarterback as a redshirt freshman. With star player wide receiver A. J. Green receiving a 4-game suspension from the NCAA for selling his jersey during the spring, Murray faced the difficulty of leading Georgia into the 2010 campaign without his best receiver. The end result was a brutal 1–4 start as Georgia dropped four consecutive games starting with a 17–6 road loss on September 4 with South Carolina and ending with an October 2 road trip to Colorado as their linebacker B.J. Beatty forced a fumble late in the fourth quarter that resulted in a Buffaloes' 29–27 victory.

paragraph: However, the Tampa, Florida native was resilient as Georgia reeled off five wins in their next six contests, including routs of Tennessee (41–14), Vanderbilt (43–0), and Kentucky (44–31). On October 9, Murray threw the ball with precision going 17-of-25 for 266 yards with two touchdowns and also rushed for 41 yards and two more touchdowns against the Volunteers. On October 16, Murray exploited Vanderbilt's secondary, going 15-of-24 passing for 287 yards with two touchdowns. He also rushed six times for 36 yards against the Commodores. At Lexington, Kentucky on October 23, Murray was 9-of-12, passing the ball for 113 yards as teammate Washaun Ealey ran 28 times for 157 yards, and scored five touchdowns as Georgia built a 44–25 lead in the fourth quarter.

paragraph: Georgia finished the season facing tough opposition including BCS National Champion Auburn (14–0) and Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton along with the 8–5 Florida Gators. The 34–31 overtime loss to Florida on October 30 may have been Murray's most memorable performance for his redshirt freshman year as the Gators went up 21–7 at the half. The Bulldogs' signal caller rallied Georgia as coach Mark Richt's team exploded in the fourth quarter, scoring three touchdowns including two Murray touchdown passes and a 1-yard run by Ealey that tied the score at 31–31. Murray was 18-for-37 passing the ball for 313 yards with three touchdowns against Florida in Jacksonville, Florida. On November 13, Murray completed 15-of-28 passes for 273 yards with three touchdowns against Auburn—even taking a 21–7 lead in the first half and a 31–28 lead in the third quarter at Jordan–Hare Stadium. Unfortunately, Newton proved to be too much as he finished with four touchdowns, 151 rushing yards, and 148 more yards off 12-of-15 passing attempts as Auburn won the game, 49–31.

paragraph: Murray finished the season well, as the redshirt freshman guided the Georgia Bulldogs to a 6–6 regular season record after starting out 1–4. The 6–1, 206-pound dual threat quarterback defeated in-state rival Georgia Tech, 42–34, on November 27. Murray threaded the needle going 15-of-19 passing the ball for 271 yards with three touchdown passes including a 66 yarder thrown to wide receiver Kris Durham in the first quarter. This win against the Rambling Wreck also helped Georgia to become bowl eligible. The team was invited to play in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee on December 31, 2010 against Central Florida.

paragraph: In the 2010 season, Murray accomplished quite a bit. He set a UGA freshman record with 3,049 passing yards in 13 games. This placed him second in the SEC with the most yards passing by a freshman. More records set or broken by the Tampa native include his 3,216 total offensive yards as a freshman that is a University of Georgia school record and ranks as No. 2 in SEC history. Murray also tied D.J. Shockley (2005) by scoring 28 total touchdowns in a single season. His 24 passing touchdowns is tied for second in UGA history for a single season. Murray's pass efficiency rating of 154.48 ranked as No. 14 nationally and No. 4 in the SEC. He was listed as third highest in the SEC averaging 234.5 yards passing per contest. Murray was ranked No. 4 in total offense in the SEC with 274.4 yards a game.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2011 season.

paragraph: Aaron Murray's redshirt sophomore year started off slowly. Either by design, with a very tough early season schedule, or due to the chemistry of a lot of young talent needing to mesh and gel, Georgia began 2011 with an 0–2 start with losses to nationally ranked No. 5 Boise State in the Georgia Dome and nationally ranked No. 12 South Carolina at home. The 35–21 loss to the Broncos on September 4 came against a senior-laden Boise State team, while the 45–42 loss to the Gamecocks a week later saw Murray play one of his finest games as a Bulldog, going 19-for-29 passing for 248 yards and four touchdowns. However, three UGA turnovers and a 68-yard fake punt touchdown run by South Carolina's 6–2, 276-pound senior linebacker Melvin Ingram proved to be too much for Georgia to overcome.

paragraph: With the whole season in jeopardy, the magic began for the University of Georgia as coach Richt's football team went on a dominating march (during the regular season) through the college football landscape. Murray was largely responsible for the surge as the Bulldogs won 10 games in a row that lifted them to a 10–2 record, a No. 12 ranking nationally by the AP College Football Poll, and a first-place ranking in the SEC East—which placed UGA in the SEC Championship Game on December 3.

paragraph: Right away, Murray's passing game was high flying as he accounted for four touchdowns in a 59–0 drubbing of visiting Coastal Carolina on September 17. Murray hit on 18-of-26 pass attempts for 188 yards against the Chanticleers.

paragraph: The 6–1, 211-pound quarterback coasted through the first half of the schedule with wins against Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Tennessee that were all low scoring games. Georgia beat Mississippi, 27–13, while Murray connected on 17-of-26 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns on September 24. Next, Murray threw two touchdown passes in UGA's 24–10 win over Mississippi State on October 1 as the Tampa, Florida native and teammate Isaiah Crowell accounted for 264 yards of offense at home. The October 8 game at Knoxville, Tennessee had place kicker Blair Walsh connecting on 35- and 23-yard field goals in the first half as two Crowell touchdown runs completed Georgia's 20–12 win against the Volunteers. Murray safely executed the passing game completing 15-of-25 passes for 227 yards against Tennessee.

paragraph: The next two contests would become major hurdles for Murray's Bulldogs as Georgia had to escape in road matchups with Vanderbilt and Florida. The Vanderbilt game in Nashville, Tennessee went right down to the wire as punter Drew Butler unknowingly grabbed the one Vanderbilt player who had the football out of a host of Commodore defenders that surrounded Georgia's senior kicker. Butler's successful tackle following a Vandy blocked punt late in the fourth quarter resulted in a Georgia 33–28 victory as Murray finished the contest with 22-of-38 passes for, at the time, a career-high 326 yards and three touchdowns including a 75 yarder to wide receiver Marlon Brown. In Jacksonville, Florida, Georgia fell behind 17–3 in the 2nd quarter but roared back to claim a 24–20 victory over the Florida Gators on October 29. Murray was 15-of-34 for 169 yards and two fourth down touchdown passes.

paragraph: The month of November belonged to the Georgia Bulldogs as Murray and company reeled off four wins against solid teams in New Mexico State, Auburn, Kentucky, and Georgia Tech. The New Mexico State game on November 5 had Murray putting on a show as he completed 18-for-23 passes for 238 yards and five touchdowns including a 47 yarder to wide receiver Chris Conley and a 42 yarder to cornerback/wide receiver Brandon Boykin in the win in Athens, Georgia. The Auburn game on November 12 was never close as Georgia enjoyed solid performances from Crowell (24 rushes, 132 yards) and Murray (completed 14-of-18 passes for 224 yards and four touchdowns) as the Bulldogs won, 45–7. The home game with the Kentucky Wildcats on November 19 turned into a challenge when starting running back Crowell left early with an ankle sprain. However, Murray picked up the slack by completing 16-of-29 passes for 162 yards, and that included a seven-yard touchdown pass thrown to Marlon Brown in the fourth quarter that put the game out reach as Georgia won, 19–10. Murray's next conquest would come against in-state rival Georgia Tech (8–5) on November 26 as the sophomore threaded the needle completing 19-of-29 passes for 252 yards and four touchdowns as the Bulldogs won, 31–17. The victory at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta completed the Georgia Bulldogs' 10-game winning streak.

paragraph: Murray faced difficult opposition to end the season. In the SEC Championship game on December 3 and the Outback Bowl on January 2 Georgia was pitted against two elite programs, number 1 ranked LSU and 12th-ranked Michigan State. At the Georgia Dome, the Bulldogs got off to a 10–0 lead by the end of the first quarter and held a 10–7 lead at the half against the 12–0 LSU Tigers. However, the second half was all LSU as the Bayou Bengals won the contest, 42–10. With running back depth being an issue, Murray was forced to step up and play big as he completed 16-of-40 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The last game of the season was played against 10–3 Michigan State in Tampa, Florida in the Outback Bowl. It was a tough loss for the Bulldogs as Georgia jumped out to a 16–0 lead early only to have the Spartans storm back and tie the score at 27–27 to send the game into overtime. Michigan State won the contest 33–30 in a third overtime. Murray completed 20-of-32 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns in the overtime loss.

paragraph: Following the completion of the regular season, Murray gained honors from The Associated Press on December 5, 2011 as it released its All-SEC football team listing him as the second team quarterback.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2012 season.

paragraph: Murray and the Georgia Bulldogs finished the season ranked #5 nationally after they got past #16 Nebraska, 45–31, in the Capital One Bowl on January 1, 2013. The 6–0⅜, 211-pound redshirt junior threw 5 touchdown passes and for 427 yards off 18-of-33 passing attempts against the Cornhuskers as Georgia ran its record to a lofty 12–2 while winning the SEC Eastern Division for a 2nd year in a row.

paragraph: With expectations rising after a successful 10–4 campaign in 2011, their rising star, junior outside linebacker Jarvis Jones, had the difficult task of convincing Georgia's talented seniors on defense—John Jenkins (6–3, 363-pounds, DT), Sanders Commings (6–2, 217-pounds, CB), Branden Smith (5–11, 176-pounds, CB), Bacarri Rambo (6–0, 218-pounds, FS), Shawn Williams (6–1, 220-pounds, SS), Abry Jones (6–3, 309-pounds, DE), and Cornelius Washington (6–4, 269-pounds, DE)—to resist the NFL for one more season. Those athletes stayed in school as this enabled Murray and Georgia to make another run in the SEC East as the Bulldogs made it back to the Georgia Dome again, but this time to face coach Nick Saban's powerful, then-ranked #2 Alabama on December 1, 2012.

paragraph: Right off the bat, Georgia raced to a quick 4–0 start in September off blowout wins over Buffalo, Missouri, Florida Atlantic, and Vanderbilt. After crushing Buffalo, 45–23, Georgia blasted Missouri on the road the very next week, 41–20. Murray started off slowly but finished with 258 yards passing and three touchdowns against Buffalo on September 1, 2012. His accuracy was much better in the following week at Columbia, Mo. (22-of-35 passing for 242 yards with three touchdowns) as senior wide receiver Marlon Brown pitched in by catching a game high 9 receptions for 124 yards to overwhelm the Missouri Tigers—who were brand new to the SEC Conference that year.

paragraph: Two home wins on the September 15 and 22 against over-matched Florida Atlantic and Vanderbilt gave Murray more opportunities to shine as he did—completing 14 of his 19 passes for 342 yards and 2 touchdowns against FAU (Georgia won this game, 56–20) and connecting on 18-of-24 passing attempts, good for 250 yards and two more scores versus Vandy. The Georgia Bulldogs surprised Vanderbilt, 48–3, in Athens, Ga. as coach James Franklin's Commodores would still go on to finish a successful campaign at 9–4.

paragraph: Coach Mark Richt's and defensive coordinator Todd Grantham's next test came against the Tennessee Volunteers at home as Georgia's troubles with the Vols foreshadowed an event that was yet to come with the date of October 6 looming versus the then undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks. Georgia slipped past scrappy Tennessee, 51–44, on September 29, but gave up 478 total yards of offense in the process. Sanders Commings came up with one of his two picks late in the contest to the seal the win for the Bulldogs as Murray got help from two true freshman running backs in Keith Marshall (10 rushes, 164 yards and 75- and 72-yard touchdown runs) and Todd Gurley (24 rushes, 130 yards and three touchdowns that including one rush of 51 yards for a score). Murray was 19 of 25 passing the ball for 278 yards and two touchdowns against the Vols. His touchdown passes were of 8 and 32 yards both thrown to wide receiver Michael Bennett, who was unfortunately lost for the season to an ACL injury at practice 4 days later.

paragraph: The season nearly hit a turning point in the year, changing directions for the worse, when Georgia faced quarterback Connor Shaw, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, and head coach Steve Spurrier's 11–2 South Carolina Gamecocks (fifth-ranked in the country) in Columbia, South Carolina a week later. The Gamecocks took control early and led 21–0 in the first quarter as Shaw scored on 2 touchdown passes while South Carolina's return man, Ace Sanders, took a punt 70 yards for a score. With Murray only passing for 109 yards and no touchdowns, Georgia never gathered its composure offensively until the game's final drive when running back Ken Malcome ran hard, rushing 5 times for 45 yards. He scored on a 3-yard touchdown run to make it a 35–7 final score—as the loss would put the Bulldogs behind the eight ball in league play with the SEC Eastern Division.

paragraph: The remainder of the season turned into a story of redemption for the University of Georgia as Murray led the Bulldogs past Kentucky (October 20), Florida (October 27), Ole Miss (November 3), Auburn (November 10), Georgia Southern (November 17), and Georgia Tech (November 24) on consecutive weekends to finish the regular season. Murray and the Bulldogs locked up the SEC East as its division leader when they received help from South Carolina which suffered from two road losses to SEC opponents, LSU and Florida, on back-to-back weekends.

paragraph: At Lexington, Kentucky, Murray displayed tremendous accuracy going 30-of-38 passing the ball for 427 yards and four touchdowns. He hit wide receiver Tavarres King for a 66-yard touchdown pass in the 1st quarter while King and teammate Malcolm Mitchell each caught 9 passes for 188 and 103 yards respectively in Georgia's 29–24 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats.

paragraph: The next weekend pitted Georgia against an improving Florida Gators football team (ranked No. 2 going into the October 27 matchup; finished season at 11–2) led by coach Will Muschamp down in Jacksonville, Florida. Murray and the Bulldogs overcame a sloppy first half after going up 7–0 off a Todd Gurley 10-yard touchdown run. It took an interception inside Georgia's end zone by safety Bacarri Rambo at the end of the half at EverBank Field to preserve a 7–6 UGA lead. With Georgia leading 10–9 late in the game, Murray hooked up with wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell on third-and-5 for a 45-yard touchdown pass—which put the game out of reach as the Bulldogs claimed a 17–9 decision, giving them sole possession of the lead in the SEC Eastern Division. Murray went 12 of 24 for 150 yards passing and a touchdown during the contest.

paragraph: In the games that followed—all in November—Georgia put their season on cruise control as the Bulldogs rolled past Ole Miss, Auburn, Georgia Southern, and Georgia Tech beginning on November 3 and finishing out on November 24 when UGA blasted the Yellow Jackets, 42–10. Georgia played Ole Miss at home as the Rebels took a 10–0 lead in the 2nd quarter off Bo Wallace's 13-yard touchdown pass to Jamal Mosley. The Bulldogs responded by scoring 37 unanswered points as Murray was the catalyst by scoring four of Georgia's five touchdowns. He threw a 66-yard touchdown pass to Marlon Brown, a 40 yarder to King, a 42 yarder to Mitchell, and a 23-yard touchdown pass to Rantavious Wooten to complete the rout. Murray threw all over the Rebels as he was 21 of 28 for 384 passing yards.

paragraph: Next, Georgia traveled to face embattled Auburn as the Bulldogs grabbed a 28–0 lead by halftime. Murray opened up the game with three touchdown passes of 6, 5, and 17 yards to three different receivers. Running back Keith Marshall added the finishing touches in the third quarter with a 62-yard touchdown run to give Georgia its 38–0 victory. Murray was solid going 18 of 24 passing the ball for 208 yards against the Tigers.

paragraph: UGA finished out its regular season by knocking off two schools that ran the option as Georgia defeated Georgia Southern in a lopsided contest, 48–14, on November 17 and then got past the Rambling Wreck in Athens, Ga. by limiting Georgia Tech's quarterbacks' Tevin Washington and Vad Lee to a combined 120 passing yards. Murray threw the ball very well against Georgia Southern (18 of 28 passing for 330 yards and 4 touchdowns) and was consistent against the Yellow Jackets (14-of-17 passing for 215 yards with 2 touchdowns) in these victories over in-state rivals.

paragraph: On December 1, No. 3 ranked Georgia (11–1) reached the SEC Championship Game to face its nemesis in archrival Alabama (11–1) which was ranked No. 2 in the country. Murray played his best when the game was on the line as he came up just five yards short of winning the championship contest as his final pass, which was intended for Malcolm Mitchell in the end zone, was instead deflected by Alabama's linebacker C.J. Mosley as the errant misplaced football fell into the hands of a falling Chris Conley who successfully made the catch but had lost his balance and was promptly tackled in the field of play at the five-yard line. The remaining seconds ticked off the game clock as the Alabama Crimson Tide (who held on to win the slugfest, 32–28) went on to become the 2012 SEC Champion—and later on, the 2013 BCS Champion after they defeated Notre Dame, 42–14, in Miami, Florida on January 7, 2013.

paragraph: Murray had opened up the scoring with a 19-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jay Rome, but Alabama's Eddie Lacy answered with a 41-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 7–7 in the 2nd quarter. The Crimson Tide held a 10–7 lead at halftime. It appeared that Georgia had stolen the momentum by taking a 21–10 lead when a blocked field goal resulted in Georgia's Alec Ogletree racing 55 yards with the pigskin for a score, but Alabama punished the Bulldogs' defense by gaining 350 yards on the ground as Lacy finished with 181 rushing yards while true freshman T.J. Yeldon ran for 153 more. Murray ended the game with an 80-yard drive in eight plays down to Alabama's 5-yard line as he only had 1:08 left of time to work with. The key play in the drive was his 26-yard pass to Georgia's lumbering tight end, Arthur Lynch, as the 6–5, 272-pound junior dragged Alabama defenders with him to the Crimson Tide 8-yard line. Murray was 18-of-33 for 265 yards passing and a touchdown in the contest.

paragraph: Following the loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, Georgia was invited to the Capital One Bowl to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers (10–3) in Orlando, Florida Murray had an outstanding afternoon by throwing for 427 yards and five touchdowns. He received help from freshman running back Todd Gurley who ran for 125 yards on 23 carries as Georgia overcame a 31–23 deficit to prevail over the Cornhuskers by two touchdowns. Murray ended the game with a 24-yard touchdown pass to running back Keith Marshall and an 87-yard touchdown pass to Chris Conley in the fourth quarter.

paragraph: Murray enjoyed excellent success during his redshirt junior season at the University of Georgia as the Bulldogs finished at 12–2 and as SEC Eastern Division Champions. He had a victory in a bowl game with his win over Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl. Numbers wise, it was Murray's best season by far as he completed 249-of-386 passes for 3,893 yards with 36 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, and a solid pass efficiency rating of 174.82. He also set individual career records. Against Kentucky (October 20, 2012), Murray's 73rd career touchdown gave him the UGA record, breaking David Greene's record set from 2001–04. And then against Alabama in the 2012 SEC Championship Game, he broke Peyton Manning's career touchdown record which was 89. Murray now has 95 touchdown passes for his career at UGA.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2013 season.

paragraph: On November 9, at the homecoming game vs. Appalachian State, Aaron Murray completed touchdown passes 114 and 115 to tie and break the all-time SEC career passing touchdown record previously set by Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel in 1996. On October 19, he completed a 7-yard pass to Arthur Lynch and passed Tim Tebow to become the SEC's all-time leading passer. On November 23, 2013 Murray tore his ACL in the left knee on a non-contact play during Senior Night for Georgia at Sanford Stadium. Prior to the ACL injury, Murray surpassed 3,000 yards for the season. This makes him the first SEC quarterback to pass for 3,000 yards per year in four seasons.

paragraph: Murray's highlights for the 2013 season listed above were notable accomplishments. Here's a recap of his senior season with the Georgia Bulldogs who wound up at 8–5 while being unranked by the AP Top 25 Poll. Murray's ACL injury on November 23 was a microcosm of UGA's difficult injury-filled season as a score of key players were sidelined with injuries.

paragraph: Georgia's season began on August 31 with Murray's 5th ranked 'Dogs being surprised in an upset loss to 8th ranked Clemson on the road, 38–35. Murray finished the contest 20-of-29 passing for 323 yards while scoring on a 1-yard touchdown run with 1:19 left to play.

paragraph: Murray responded to Georgia's opening season loss to Clemson by taking charge in the 2nd half of Georgia's 41–30 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks on September 7. He had another fine day throwing the football (17 of 23 passes for 309 yards with 4 touchdowns). Murray's final touchdown came in the form of an 85-yard toss to wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley early in the 4th quarter. He also received help from running back Todd Gurley who ran for 132 yards on 30 carries.

paragraph: Next, the University of Georgia faced North Texas at home on September 21 as Murray added more numbers, more yardage, and more scores. He went 22-of-30 throwing the ball for 408 yards and three touchdowns while also garnering 37 rushing yards in the process. WR Chris Conley aided Murray's cause with five receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown.

paragraph: With Georgia's roster nearly at full strength for one last time in '13, the Bulldogs managed to escape in their matchup with #6 LSU. Georgia won the contest 44–41 as Murray capped off the scoring by connecting with receiver Scott-Wesley on a 25-yard touchdown pass with 1:47 left in the final stanza. Murray threw for 298 yards and for 4 touchdowns in the victory.

paragraph: Finally, Georgia reached a defining moment in the season of 2013 when the Bulldogs had to travel to Knoxville, Tennessee for a matchup with the Vols on October 5. The Bulldogs lost several players to injury in this overtime thriller as RB Keith Marshall (5 rushed, 33 yards against UT) tore an ACL that put him out for the year. Other notables among the injury list included Murray's receivers Michael Bennett and Justin Scott-Wesley. Even the team's punter, Collin Barber, was knocked out of this contest. Murray—without his backfield (Todd Gurley had been lost the week before with an ankle injury to LSU)—took this game into his own hands as he raced 57 yards off a scramble early in the 3rd quarter which a play later set up his teammate Brendan Douglas' 3-yard touchdown run giving the Bulldogs a 24–17 lead with 14:55 left in the 3rd quarter. Soon afterwards, Georgia defeated Tennessee 34–31 in overtime off a Marshall Morgan 42 yard FG. Murray finished the contest going 19-of-35 for 196 passing yards and three touchdowns.

paragraph: With injuries taking a toll, Georgia ran into trouble later in the year—which saw its hopes of making the SEC title game fade away. Next, Georgia took on eventual SEC East Champion Missouri at home on October 12, 2013. Murray opened up the scoring with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Douglas, but it was Missouri that took the upper hand in the first half by taking a 28–10 lead going into the locker-room. The Missouri Tigers held on to win, 41–26. Murray passed for 290 yards (25 completions in 45 attempts) in the losing cause with three touchdowns.

paragraph: Soon, Georgia faced Vanderbilt in Nashville on October 19. Murray's two touchdown passes and Shaquille Wiggins's 39 yard interception return gave Georgia a 27–14 lead going into the final stanza of play, but it was Vanderbilt's comeback ability that enabled the Commodores to win 31–27. Murray minus his backfield struggled in this road matchup as he finished with only 114 yards off 16-of-28 passing attempts. Conley was Murray's top receiver as he finished with 5 catches for 40 yards in the losing cause.

paragraph: Georgia opened up November with a couple of wins as Murray's teammates got past Florida 23–20 and Appalachian State 45–6. Georgia rode the services of running back Todd Gurley in the November 2 matchup with Florida who led all rushers with 100 yards. Murray hit Gurley on a 75-yard touchdown pass early in the game that gave UGA a 14–0 lead in the 1st quarter. The Appalachian State game on November 9 was never close as Georgia took a 10–0 lead by halftime and expanded it to a 31–0 score going into the final quarter of play. Murray threw for 258 yards (18-of-23 passing) in the Florida game and had 281 yards passing against Appalachian State off 19-of-26 passing attempts.

paragraph: Soon after the Florida game, Georgia and Murray found themselves in a shootout with SEC powerhouse rival Auburn (12–2, ranked #2, and SEC Champions in 2013) on November 16. In a game that saw multiple lead changes, Murray had appeared to have won the contest off a 5-yard touchdown run which happened with 1:49 left in the game. However, with only 25 seconds remaining, Auburn's Ricardo Louis took in a tip-drill pass and hauled in the reception to complete a 73-yard touchdown on 4th down-and-18 to seal the win for the Tigers, 43–38. Murray threw for 415 yards (33 completions out of 49 passes) and two touchdowns in the losing cause.

paragraph: Murray's senior season ended on a very painful and sour note on November 23 as the 'Dogs faced Kentucky at home. Things started out fine for the senior quarterback who opened up the game with 4 touchdowns while going 18-of-23 passing for 183 yards—all in the first half. Then, Murray was hit by a defender with 2:17 left in the half that caused him to suffer an ACL injury.

paragraph: For the remainder of Murray's senior season, Georgia would have to manage without their star player. Murray's Bulldogs finished out the year at 8–5 while defeating Georgia Tech (41–34) in their regular season finale and losing to Nebraska (24–19) in the Gator Bowl on January 1, 2014.

paragraph: Eric P. Hamp

paragraph: Eric Pratt Hamp (November 16, 1920 – February 17, 2019) was an American linguist widely respected as a leading authority on Indo-European linguistics, with particular interests in Celtic languages and Albanian. Unlike many Indo-Europeanists, who work entirely on the basis of written materials, he conducted extensive fieldwork on lesser-known Indo-European languages and dialects, such as Albanian, Arbëresh and Arvanitika; Breton; Welsh; Irish; and Scots Gaelic.

paragraph: His wide-ranging interests also included American Indian languages. He served for many years as editor of the "International Journal of American Linguistics" and did field work on Quileute and Ojibwa. He also studied linguistic aspects of braille.

paragraph: Hamp's scholarship is characterized by the densely argued, narrowly focused note, essay and review, generally consisting of a few pages. He has written more than 3,500 articles and reviews, and nearly every important aspect of historical linguistics has been dealt with, often multiple times, in Hamp's writings.

paragraph: He was the Robert Maynard Hutchins Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicago and in spite of his advanced age, he continued to write, edit, speak and travel at select meetings and conferences, and was an Associate Editor of the journal "Anthropological Linguistics". He died in February 2019 at the age of 98.

paragraph: Section::::Education.

paragraph: Born in London in 1920, Hamp attended Tome School as a young boy and entered Amherst College at age 16 where he received his BA in 1942. He served in the U.S. Army and after being discharged in 1947 resumed his studies, receiving an MA (1948) and PhD (1954) both from Harvard University. Among Hamp's teachers at Harvard were Joshua Whatmough and Kenneth H. Jackson.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Hamp spent his entire academic career on the faculty of the University of Chicago, which he joined in 1950 and from which he retired in 1991. At Chicago, he was the Robert Maynard Hutchins Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus in the Department of Linguistics, where he served as chair from 1966 to 1969.

paragraph: Hamp also held appointments at the University of Chicago in the departments of Psychology and Slavic Languages and Literatures, as well as in the Committee on the Ancient Mediterranean World. He served as director for the Center for Balkan and Slavic Studies from 1965 to 1991.
