ATHENS, Georgia (Ticker) -- Knowshon Moreno delivered anotherhuge performance for Georgia.


Moreno rushed for a season-high 196 yards and three touchdownsSaturday as 10th-ranked Georgia posted a 44-34 victory overTroy.


It was the third consecutive 100-yard performance for Moreno,who became the first Bulldog to achieve the feat since MusaSmith in 2002.


A redshirt freshman, Moreno enjoyed a breakthrough day last weekagainst Florida, running for 188 yards and three TDs in a 42-30triumph over the defending national champions.


"I think Knowshon is continuing to get better," Georgia coachMark Richt said. "We are blocking better for him, and he isreading a lot better."


Six days off did not slow down the speedy Moreno, who raced foran 80-yard TD just five minutes into the contest to get Georgiaon the board. It was the program's longest run since RobertEdwards reeled off an 80-yarder against Kentucky in 1997.

"(Moreno) had that one big run of 80 yards - that was huge forhim," Richt said. "But even without that, he had over 100yards."


Moreno added a pair of one-yard scores in the second half forthe Bulldogs (7-2), who overcame a slow start to win for thesixth time in their last seven games.


"The offensive line did a good job of opening up holes today,"said Moreno, who carried 26 times. "The way the guys up frontopened them up made it easy for the backs to make plays.

"It wasn't a great day overall, it was kind of sloppy. But wegot the job done."


Moreno increased his rushing total this season to 1,003 yards,becoming the first Georgia player to reach the milestone sinceSmith (1,324) in 2002. He is the 12th player in school historyto eclipse the 1,000-yard mark in a single season.

The 207-pound Moreno also became the first Georgia freshman toreach 1,000 yards rushing since Herschel Walker (1,616) did soin 1980.


Matthew Stafford completed 17-of-29 passes for 217 yards, twoTDs and one interception for Georgia, which rallied from a 10-7deficit after one quarter.


Brandon Coutu kicked a 36-yard field goal to forge a 10-10 tiejust 15 seconds into the second quarter, and Stafford threwscoring strikes of 22 and 20 yards to give the Bulldogs a 24-10lead entering the break.


"For the most part, we did a good job of keeping the momentum,"Richt said. "The last two scores of the first half were huge."

"Today was a good win," Stafford said. "We have to keepchugging along and take it week-by-week. We ran the ball prettywell and made some plays in the passing game."


Omar Haugabook finished 29-for-45 for 310 yards, two TDs and twointerceptions for Troy (6-3), which had its six-game winningstreak snapped.


Haugabook's favorite target was Jerrel Jernigan, who had 11catches for 102 yards and two scores. Gary Banks also finishedwith 102 yards on eight receptions for the Trojans.
