Mark Richt sticks with QB Malik Rosier. And here’s what he said about his play-calling.
“Malik is the starter,” Richt said matter-of-factly when asked if he already knew who would start Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium. The coach then elaborated on his decision by returning the same talking points he’s used since naming Rosier the starter Oct. 17.
“Like I’ve said a lot of times, I feel like he can handle the game plan the best right now and gives us the best shot,” Richt said. “If that changes, then that will change. That’s where we’re at right now.”
Regarding his play-calling, which many have criticized as uncreative and repetitive, Richt said coaches will stick with what they’ve been doing.
“We all as a staff put our game plan together. It’s a joint effort,” Richt said. “There are certain plays that we like on first and second down, in the green zone as we call it, between the 20s. And then there are certain plays we like in third-and-short, third-and-medium, third-and-long. We rep all those plays. We all have confidence in them. Same thing in the red zone.
“And so, to a degree we’re just calling the plays that we’ve repped, that we have the faith and confidence in, that we worked against the looks we think we’ll see. So, it’s not really a situation of making stuff up in the middle of the game.
“We’re sticking to the plan [and] making adjustments if need be. But for the most part we’re calling the things that we all believe in. We just gotta do a better job of it.”
