Richt calls out blogger

Reporters were informed that Georgia coach Mark Richt's time to answer questions after practice Thursday would be shorter than usual because he had a flight to catch, but when he was done, Richt wanted to get one more thing off his chest.

He disagreed with a blogger who criticized plans to use Logan Gray again deep in Georgia's own territory on punt returns if he doesn't win the starting quarterback job.

Our defense - our punt return team - is in punt safe to keep them from faking the punt because they're across the 50-yard line.

"All Logan is doing is making a decision whether it should be a fair catch or let the ball hit. The fine gentleman who writes the blog, I don't think he understood that very much, but I just thought maybe if everybody got educated on that a little bit better, they'd understand why Logan would do that. He was 100 percent last year on making those decisions and never bobbled the ball."
