What is 174.82?

It was Aaron Murray’s passer rating last season.

It’s also the over/under for the number of times I expect he’ll be asked about Jadeveon Clowney’s comments at SEC Media Days today, by people who would crap their pants if Clowney were chasing them down.

Should be fun.

********************************************************************

UPDATE:  Good answer.

Yes, Aaron Murray answered South Carolina star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney saying he was “scared” playing against him

“My response? Here we go,” Murray said. “Let’s just get it knocked away. I think the word fear was misused for respect. Definitely a lot of respect for him. He’s definitely not if the best player in the country, an unbelievable player, a very talented player, a guy that you really do have to game plan for and set a plan for him. Definitely not scared, but definitely respect him greatly with what he’s able to do on the field.”

Murray, who took a beating and kept on ticking (eventually) after going up against Auburn’s Nick Fairley in 2010, said he “enjoys getting hits. I’m not scared of getting hit by anyone by all means. I’m not worried about who says what or this and that.”

Murray said Clowney’s comments “were all over Twitter,” so he learned of them quickly.

“It pretty much blew up and people tweeted at me, `Did you hear what Clowney said? Did you hear what Clowney said? Did you hear what Clowney said? Whatever. …If I’m worried about what’s going on in front of me I’m not doing my job.

    Aaron has been the poster child (literally,if you view the photos from their last meeting) for Clowney’s remarks. Knowing what a man and leader Murray is, I wouldn’t be pokin’ the bear if I was him, especially since AM is in charge of summer practices. Wonder how many plays Murray has already cooked up with his personally-trained O line? I’ll bet the guys are having to clamp their hands over their mouths not to give anything away while Clowney takes his ill-advised pot shots.

    Aaron is not far behind Clowney for the “league’s best player” – and perhaps is as valuable (more so?) to his team as JC is to his. I look forward to the game with great anticipation…

    Clowney forgets that 1 chop block could end his career…

    Seriously though, it is never a good practice to go about taunting, as eventually someone will catch you not looking.

    Would be nice if Clowney had learned from players like Lattimore who never said a word and let their actions say everything.

    carolina grad here (be gentle). i just had a baby and haven’t been paying attention to much besides her – haven’t heard what clowney said. can you link to it or tell me please? i agree with merk – lattimore is a remarkably classy human; there are many lessons to be learned from him.

    While I know he’d never do it, I’d love to see Murray go up to the mic and just say this number. Then he could just wait for the questions and answer repeatedly with the number. But he’s not an annoying a$$hole like me….or Spurrier.

    murray had a 174.82 passer rating for 2012?

    that’s impressive but not relevant to this discussion. what was murray’s passer rating in the south carolina game?

    11/31 for 109 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT

    yeah, murray was scared. he should have just admitted to it and moved on.

    look for uga to start off 0-2 this year.

        thanks for playing, but I believe the game in question happened in 2012, not clowney’s 2nd game ever in 2011.

        most of the players on the field when uga lost to usc in 2011 won’t be on the field this august. clowney will. and murray will.

        but in your own trolling way, you did point me toward the info I was looking for:

        http://www.cfbstats.com/2012/team/648/passing/defense/gamelog.html

        W 35-7 31 11 35.5 109 3.5 0 1 58.56

        a 58.56 passer rating? brutal.

        now I see why you’d want to talk about a game from 2 years ago instead.

        that just happened.

                  86.10. That would be Tech’s passer rating versus Georgia in a 42-10 loss last year.
                  Don’t forget 67.10 in 2011, 96.56 in 2010, etc.

          And yet with all that brutality that you blog of….. you had LSU on the ropes but could not close the deal. Let them back in the game the 4th quarter. Nutted up, went limp and lost it all when Hill broke your hearts with that fifty yard run. Actually the game was no where near as close as the score.
          On to the gators and you just had to win this one. Need to. MUST WIN THIS GAME> >Remember the ‘barners? You had to win that one too. Yet you couldn’t stay up for it the whole game. You were “that guy”. It was all there in front of you for the taking and you couldn’t do anything with it. Nightmares. And that it why the Dawgs went to the dance in Atlanta and you stayed home….alone with your youtube vid of your greatest performance of the year but nothing else to show for all that effort.
