Georgia Football Practice Notes: October 10th, 2006
October 10, 2006 | Football
"We had a solid day or work today," head coach Mark Richt said following the workout. "We got after it pretty good out there. We tackled and went full speed in our inside drill. We're trying to get better there. We're going to need to get better."
Richt held his weekly press session with the media earlier in the day to discuss the match-up Commodores.
"We are playing a very good football team who could easily be 5-1 right now," Richt said. "The thing that scares you after watching what Arkansas did to Auburn is that Vanderbilt played Arkansas to a 19-21 ballgame that Vanderbilt could have easily won. They are playing outstanding football right now. What strikes you about them is that they are extremely well coached and very physical. Vanderbilt is No. 2 in the league in rushing behind Arkansas."
Richt also addressed the quarterback situation, where Georgia has started a different player in each of the last three games.
"I think we could win with Joe Tereshinski, Matthew Stafford or Joe Cox," Richt said. "The point is that it isn't just about the quarterbacks. Everyone around them has to play well. You have to be good on defense, play good special teams, block well, provide space and time for your backs and your receivers have to make plays. It is not a one-man show. Joe T. will start for us. I do want Matthew to play though. I want to get him in there. I would say it is likely he will play in the first half."
Georgia is at No. 14 in the USA Today and at No. 16 in the AP rankings this week. Kickoff for Saturday's game is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET, and the contest will be televised regionally by Lincoln Financial TV, the Bulldogs' third appearance on the network this season. All Georgia games are broadcast live on the Bulldog Radio Network on AM 750 WSB in Atlanta and on both 106.1 FM and 960 The Ref in Athens. The radio audio also can be heard on georgiadogs.com, the official website of UGA Athletics.
