One of Mark Richt's oldest trick plays gave Georgia the lift it needed to remain on track for a shot at the SEC title. Aaron Murray threw four touchdown passes and Georgia (No. 6 BCS, No. 7 AP) overcame a slow start to beat Mississippi 37-10 on Saturday and move one win away from a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game. Georgia (8-1, 6-1 SEC) trailed 10-0 before scoring 37 unanswered points. The Bulldogs can clinch the SEC East title and second straight trip to the conference championship game with a win at Auburn next week. "We know now it's down to one game to win the right to go back to Atlanta," Richt said. Murray pulled off a fake handoff on a 66-yard touchdown pass to Marlon Brown for the Bulldogs' first points. Richt, in his 12th season as Georgia's coach, said he brought the play from Florida State, where he was offensive coordinator under coach Bobby Bowden. Murray pulled off the well-executed fake handoff to Todd Gurley, who was swarmed by Ole Miss defenders as Murray hid the ball with his back to the line. Murray then threw to Brown, who was standing alone near the 40 when he made the catch. Murray said he prepared for the play by watching film of former Georgia quarterback David Greene have success with his version of the fake. "I was going to text him this morning and tell him we were going to use it," said Murray of Greene. "I didn't want to jinx us." Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said his defensive backs' lack of experience showed on the play. "The first (touchdown) was just bad eyes," Freeze said. "They were looking in the backfield instead of looking at your man. We have some freshmen back there who just got out of position. We missed some guys today. We're very young back there, and they exposed that today." Richt said the play provided a lift for Georgia's players and the crowd of 92,746. "I think there's no question about it," said Richt, who added he could tell fans "were getting kind of antsy" wit
