Georgia fans: did you know, the Bulldogs control their own destiny (I know, that's a incorrect cliché, so sue me) for the SEC championship?

Yeah. I'm serious. If they beat No. 2 Florida they move into first place in the division.

So is anyone actually excited about next week's game?

(Sit down Florida fans) . Anybody else?

That's what I thought.

"They better get ready because we are going to be playing a heck of a football team," UGA coach Mark Richt told the Georgia Radio Network.

The Dawgs 29-24 win over Kentucky, coupled with Florida's 44-11 throttling of South Carolina, means Georgia's is in the driver's seat to win the division if it's beat the Gators next week.

But there may not be a bigger if for a good team at this point.

"I don't think anyone was thrilled with the way we played," Richt said. "It certainly could have been a lot worse."

And if Aaron Murray didn't play the game of his life, it would have.

Murray took a UK secondary, filled with freshman, to school.

Final numbers: 30-for-38 (78.9 percent), 427 yards, four touchdowns, no picks.

It was a masterpiece.

"I wasn't told about the record until after game, and that's something I wasn't even worried about," Murray said. "My focus is on making corrections to get ready to go for next week."

"Things just opened up for us. Our receivers did a great job of getting open and the line did a great job all night."

Fine. Since Murray won't take any credit, one of his receivers will hand it out.

"He's always prepared," said wide receiver Chris Conley who caught one of those TD passes. "A lot of teams have quarterbacks but not a lot of teams have quarterbacks that are leaders."

The boys at UGA's sports information department will have to rewrite a few pages of the media guide because of this game.

Murray now has 75 career touchdown passes, breaking David Greene's record of 72.

He broke the school record for completion percentage (minimum of 30) that was set by Mike Bobo (76.92 percent vs Tech in 1997).

Murray's 427 passing yards is fourth most in Georgia history and tops for someone not named Eric Zeier.

But he, Tavarres King (188 yards receiving) and Malcolm Mitchell (101) might be the only ones happy with the way they played.

"(Kentucky is) in the SEC," said Georgia assistant coach Scott Lakatos. "The fans may look at it one way. But as players and coaches we look at it another way. We came out here and we finished it."

That's true. But you'll be hard pressed to find anyone in Bulldog Nation that is excited at this point.

Florida is firing on all cylinders and the Dawgs are still trying to figure out how the clutch works.

This team, that may very well end up in the Top 10 in someone's poll Sunday, has played a complete game against Vanderbilt...and that's the list.

The defense that was expected to be one of the best in the nation is just the best in the state.

They allowed Kentucky to run for 206 yards tonight. That's the most the Cats have put up against an SEC team since Vanderbilt in Oct. of 2010.

This defense, with nine returning starters, hasn't held a team to less than 100 rushing yards yet. Last season they did it eight times.

Then there's Georgia's own running game.

The group the freshman pair of Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall is starting to hit it's learning curve.

In the last two games the Dawgs have rushed for 192 yards total.

That's not going to be enough.

"The football team better get ready and the Bulldog Nation better get ready," said Richt.

Bulldog Nation feels like they are making another death march down to the old Gator Bowl. But stranger things have happened.  

This team as talented as anyone and they still haven't put it together yet.

The question is, will they figure it out too late?
