Former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray offered a take about the Tennessee Vols this week that probably won’t sit well with UGA head coach Kirby Smart.
Murray, who played under Mark Richt at Georgia from 2009 to 2013, joined Off the Hook Sports earlier this week to discuss Tennessee football.
During his appearance on Off the Hook Sports , Murray was asked how Tennessee’s talent compares to Georgia’s talent.
Murray doesn’t think there’s a big gap in talent between the two programs. In fact, he even thinks the Vols have the edge at a couple of positions, including the defensive line.
“It’s hard for me to sit back and say there is much of a difference (in talent),” said Murray. “I think the difference is really at the quarterback spot with just experience. Carson Beck is heading into his second season (as the starter). He’s 23 years old. He’s been in the system for five years. He’s been in the playoffs. He’s been in Atlanta in an SEC championship game. He’s experienced a lot of things that Nico (Iamaleava) is most likely going to experience this year and next year. And I doubt he stays for another year just because of how talented he is. He’ll get there — no doubt about. But that’s the difference (at the quarterback position).
