Georgia will conduct its third and final preseason scrimmage tonight at Sanford Stadium, but Bulldogs coach Mark Richt doesn’t sound any closer to announcing a starting quarterback.
The Bulldogs open their 15th season under Richt in nine days against visiting Louisiana-Monroe.
“We may not announce anything,” Richt said Wednesday night in a news conference. “We may just say, ‘Come to the game.’ We might get 100 more people to come to the game and get a higher TV rating.”
There was speculation this week that the battle among redshirt junior Faton Bauta, redshirt sophomore Brice Ramsey and Virginia transfer Greyson Lambert had been trimmed to Ramsey and Lambert when Bauta was spotted by reporters Monday and Tuesday working with the third team. Richt said the rotation has been changed a little bit but that all three still are being evaluated on a daily basis.
Lambert, who started nine games last season for the Cavaliers but was supplanted on Virginia’s depth chart this spring, has come the furthest since the start of the month, but he also had the furthest to travel.
