Dogs hold out Murray as open date looms

ATHENS -- Georgia is back on the practice fields without quarterback Aaron Murray.

Murray suffered a bruised knee and a bruised sternum in Saturday's loss at Auburn.

Georgia (5-6) had its first practice since the loss to the No. 2 Tigers.

Georgia is off this week before ending its regular season against Georgia Tech on Nov. 27. The kickoff has been set for 7:45 p.m. The game will be televised by ESPN.

Coach Mark Richt said Tuesday's practice "was a start" as the Bulldogs prepare for Georgia Tech's spread option offense.
