Georgia coach Mark Richt's comments on Ole Miss from his weekly presser today. ...

On Zack Stoudt: “Their quarterback is Zack Stoudt. He’s a guy who did struggle last week, but when you hear the statistics, you wonder what you are going to see, but when I looked at the film he is a very capable guy. He missed a couple of balls by just a fraction. They had guys open, and I’m sure they’ll make corrections and be difficult to defend.”

On defensive scheme: “Defensively they are a 4-3 team. Some people say they are a 4-2 team with five DBs, and that would probably better describe them. We consider (Aaron Garbutt) for them a sam linebacker for us. It basically would be a nickel sam, so they do have four down linemen, two linebackers in the corps, and they have Aaron Garbutt, who plays what we would call a nickel sam."

On Jeff Scott: “They have a guy named Jeff Scott, their punt returner. He’s number two in the United States of America in punt returns. He already has one for a touchdown. He’s a very fearless guy, a guy from Florida who is going to field the ball. He does not like to fair catch. I’m not saying that he never will, but his inclination is to hang in there, make the catch, make the guy miss and then start doing his damage. That’s why he’s as good as he is. He’s not a super big guy, but he’s the same young man who plays tailback for them, just a dangerous football player.”

On winning on the road: “Just win. We’ll definitely go in there believing we can win. We feel that every time we play of course. The one thing that over the years I think some of the reasons we’ve had so much success on the road was that our quarterbacks historically really handled the pressure of the communication in those loud stadiums and handled the pressure of if some little thing goes wrong for Georgia, it gets accentuated by crowd reaction and that kind of thing. Our quarterbacks have always had nerves of steel. They handled all that type of pressure really well. Part of the preparation for that will be Thursday’s practice at the stadium. We’ll crank up the noise and do a good job of communication there. While we are talking about practices, we will practice today and tomorrow on our field turf since we are going to play on field turf. We have a little bit of a forecast for rain too, so it will be better not to tear up our grass fields if it is moist out there. We’ll go today and tomorrow on the field turf, Thursday in the stadium, and crank up the noise on Thursday.”

They might have Scott right on punt returns, but as a running back that is supposed to be really fast it doesn't show that much. Either the defenses are a lot faster than he is or he is trying to hard to get to the edge instead of finding holes like Bolden does. Unless things change drastically it looks to be a looooooong day for the Rebels.

For what its worth I picked Georgia to win on the pickem contest so that means Ole Miss will probably win just to mess with my mind.
